saturn's moon


This is Saturn's moon, Prometheus, cool name, but...that sounds pretty good until you discover it is just a useless lump of ice floating about. Not sure if floating is the correct word when it is in a gravitational pull in space, but hey ho, it is still a lump of ice (53 meters across). It was only discovered in 1980. Was it there before? I would say so, but who could be really certain? (OK, I'll take the risk, I think it was).
Anyway, in advance of that knowledge, you would think "wow, a moon", but in the end, you discover it is rubbish. What is the point I am trying to make? No idea, but it keeps me busy and out of mischief.
