Janus (Moon)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Janus is an inner satellite of Saturn. It is also known as Saturn X. It is named after the mythological Janus. nus occupies practically the same orbit as the moon Epimetheus. This caused some confusion for astronomers, who assumed that there was only one body in that orbit, and for a long time struggled to figure out what was going on. It was eventually realized that they were trying to reconcile observations of two distinct objects as a single object.
