Prometheus - Voyager 2
Color image of Saturn's satellite Prometheus and F-ring
Voyager 2 color image showing the shepherding satellite
Prometheus (1980S27) and part of the F-ring against the
background of Saturn. The A-ring and Encke gap are also
visible at upper left. Prometheus orbits at a distance
of 139,350 km from Saturn and is about 40 x 70 km in size.
The satellites brightness suggests it is an icy body like
the larger satellites and ring particles.
