Image caption: La sonde Cassini de la NASA a prise cette image de Pan, un des satellites de Saturne, en mars 2017. Pan est un satellite dit "gardien" qui orbite autour de Saturne à l'intérieur de la division de Encke dans les anneaux de Saturne. L'excroissance mince située au bord provient de la matière que Pan amasse au cours de son trajet à travers les anneaux. Pan a un diamètre moyen d'environ 30 km.
