Pan is one of Saturn's moons, known for its unique and distinctive shape. It orbits within the planet’s rings and is classified as a "shepherd moon." This means that it exerts gravitational influence on nearby particles in the rings, helping to maintain their structure. Pan has a pronounced equatorial ridge, which gives it a shape that resembles a flying saucer or a pot-bellied appearance, with a diameter of about 35 kilometers (22 miles).
