Prometheus: Saturn’s “White Whale” Moon
The Saturn Moon Prometheus has a very interesting look. The picture here shows that it appears to be oblong, and looks much like a Great White Whale (under the proper lighting conditions 
). This new 3-D image from NASA’s Cassini spacecraft (click on that link for many more images taken by the craft including the Death Star moon, Mimas) with an amazing clarity as it flies towards the viewer.
Besides having an odd look for a moon, Prometheus most likely has a violent history. Well…almost any moon orbiting around Saturn in a rings of giant space debris probably does, but the many craters on this moon suggest a bit more than others. This moon is so odd looking. It reminds me of “The Marker” from the video game Dead Space for some reason. Yeah…I’m weird. Look at all the markings on it…it looks like an alien artifact…lol
Prometheus is one of Saturn’s innermost moons. It orbits Saturn at a distance of about 140,000 kilometers (86,000 miles) and is 86 kilometers (53 miles) across at its widest point. The porous, icy world was originally discovered in images taken by NASA’s Voyager 1 spacecraft back in 1980.
That image wasn’t nearly as beneficial as it took an image of one of the short sides of the moon. This image is simply amazing. Between the Marker and the Death Star there is something real fishy going on out there by Saturn. Might be something out there that wants to show you the benefits of colon cleansing at some point 
.
EDIT: no pun intended with that “fishy comment…More likely those things will show you the
