Shephard moons and their flock, close to the Shepherd Moons.
This spectacular image shows Prometheus (at left) and Pandora (at right), with their flock of icy ring particles (the F ring) between them. Pandora is exterior to the ring, and closer to the spacecraft here. Each of the shepherd satellites has an unusual shape, with a few craters clearly visible.

That is a pretty neat image. Thanks for posting all those images Deirdre! I always look forward to what Cassini uncovers next.
