Other Satellites of Saturn

The ring planet Saturn has 60 confirmed moons. These can be classified into 

22 regular satellites they have prograde orbits (i.e. they orbit the planet in the same sense as the planet rotates around its own axis). The seven largest are of spheroidal shape. 

38 satellites move retrograde or prograde their orbits have a greater inclination and they are shaped irregularly. These objects were captured by Saturn due to its high gravity. 

This moon is also designated as Saturn V. It was discovered in 1672 by Cassini who also discovered Tethys, Dione and Japetus. Rhea (Fig. 4.11) has a low density 

This satellite is studied by the Cassini mission and in 2008 it was found that it is surrounded by a ring system.
