Saturn's MoonsMiscellaneous
Menu:
Aegaeon orbits Saturn, in an almost perfectly circular orbit within the "G" Ring, every 19 hours and 24 minutes at a distance of 167,500 km. It is very small at about half a kilometer across, and is probably the source of the particles that form the "G" Ring. The Cassini Imaging Science Team discovered the moon in 2009 from observation made by the Cassini probe in the previous year.
