Saturn’s Icy Moon Epimetheus

Saturn's Icy Moon EpimetheusSaturn’s icy moon Epimetheus sits just below the rings in this sweet shot taken by the

orbiting Cassini Spacecraft. The planet Saturn is currently rising

around 5:30pm and can be found high in the eastern sky shortly after dark among the stars of the constellation Cancer. Even the most modest of telescopes will

reveal its beautiful rings… though you’ll need something considerably more substantial to see Saturn’s moon Epimetheus.
