Saturn’s Tiniest Moon?

Measuring only about 4 miles across, Daphnis just might be the planet Saturn’s tiniest moon. It seen here as a tiny smudge at the center top of the rings in this sweet shot by the orbiting Cassini Spacecraft. It’s also one of the most recently discovered, too… showing up in Cassini images taken in 2005. Checkout NASA’s Planetary Photojournal for more details. Saturn is high and slightly west of overhead shortly after dark, so if you’d like to observe the ringed planet, you’d better not waste too much time. It’ll be gone in just a few short months.
