#PPOD: Saturn’s tiny 200-km-wide moon Janus was imaged by NASA's Cassini spacecraft on September 25, 2006. This little world exchanges orbits every 100 days with its partner moon, Epithemus. The two also cause wavelike structures in Saturn's rings due to gravitational influences. Credit: NASA / JPL-Caltech / Space Science Institute / CICLOPS / Jason Major
