It was discovered in 1980 from photos taken by the Voyager 1 probe, and was provisionally designated {{nowrap|S/1980 S 26}}.{{sfn|IAUC 3532}} In late 1985 it was officially named after Pandora from Greek mythology.{{sfn|IAUC 4157}} It is also designated as {{nowrap|Saturn XVII}}.{{sfn|USGS: Planet and Satellite Names and Discoverers}} Pandora was thought to be an outer shepherd satellite of the F Ring. However, recent studies indicate that it does not play such a role, and that only Prometheus, the inner shepherd, contributes to the confinement of the narrow ring.[1][2] It is more heavily cratered than nearby Prometheus, and has at least two large craters {{convert|30|km}} in diameter. The majority of craters on Pandora are shallow as a result of being filled with debris. Ridges and grooves are also present on moon's surface.{{sfn|Solar System, NASA: Pandora}} The orbit of Pandora appears to be chaotic, as a consequence of a series of four 118:121 mean-motion resonances with Prometheus.{{sfn|Renner et al. 2005}} The most appreciable changes in their orbits occur approximately every 6.2 years,{{sfn|Spitale Jacobson et al.|2006}} when the periapsis of Pandora lines up with the apoapsis of Prometheus and the moons approach to within about {{convert|1400|km}}. Pandora also has a 3:2 mean-motion resonance with Mimas.{{sfn|Spitale Jacobson et al.|2006}} From its very low density and relatively high albedo, it seems likely that Pandora is a very porous icy body. There is a lot of uncertainty in these values, however, so this remains to be confirmed. GalleryReferences{{Spoken Wikipedia|Pandora (moon).ogg|2010-01-10}}
