In this Cassini image of Anthe's ring arc, the moon is moving downward and to the right. Most of the visible material in the arc lies ahead of Anthe in its orbit. However, over time the moon drifts slowly back and forth with respect to the arc. NASA's Cassini spacecraft has found two new, partial rings around Saturn that each accompany a small moon, shedding light on what determines whether a partial or complete ring forms with the moon.
