DPS meeting: Sunday: Three tiny moons of Saturn orbit within rings
I'll be writing quite a bit about the annual meeting of the Division of Planetary Sciences (DPS) of the American Astronomical Society this week; see this post for an introduction. Now I'm going in to the talks from Sunday, where I faced a lot of conflicts, wanting to jump between rings, asteroids, and Titan talks. Watching the talks on the Web, I can catch up with all these different places in the solar system -- provided I can find the time to watch them all!
First up was a talk by Matt Hedman on the rings recently discovered in association with three small moons of Saturn that were themselves discovered in Cassini images: Pallene, Methone, and Anthe.
