Description
The F Ring is the outermost discrete ring of Saturn and perhaps the most active ring in the Solar system, with features changing on a timescale of hours. It is located 3000 km beyond the outer edge of the A Ring. It was discovered in 1979 by the Pioneer 11 imaging team. It is very thin, just a few hundred kilometers wide, and is held together by two shepherd moons, Prometheus and Pandora, which orbit inside and outside it.
