Peggy is the informal name for a former moonlet in the outermost part of Saturn's Ring A, orbiting 136,775 kilometres (84,988 mi) away from the planet. The moonlet was discovered by the Cassini Imaging Team in 2013 and it may likely be exiting Saturn's A Ring. [1] No direct image of Peggy has ever been made. [4]
Saturn’s rings are seen as viewed by NASA’s Cassini spacecraft, which obtained the images that comprise this mosaic at a distance of approximately 450,000 miles from Saturn April 25, 2007.
They arrived at a precise prediction of 133,603 ± 10 km for the semi-major axis and a mass of 5–10 × 10 −12 Saturn masses, and inferred that there was only a single moon within the Encke gap. [8] The actual semi-major axis differs by 19 km, and the actual mass is 8.6 × 10 −12 of Saturn's.
