'''Methone (Saturn XXXII, S/2004 S 1)''' a [[Natural satellite|moon]] of [[Saturn]]. It orbits outside of the ring system between the orbits of [[Mimas]] and [[Enceladus]]. Methone was discovered in 2004 by the [[w:Cassini-Huygens|Cassini]] imaging team. It was named after on of the seven beautiful daughters of [[w:Alcyoneus|Alcyoneus]].
 
 
 
== Methone in Orbiter ==
 
Methone was introduced to Orbiter with the release of ''outerplanets-050329_update.zip'' in 2005.
 
 
 
Note that in the add-on ''outer_planets-060929-base.zip'', no texture for Methone was included, so, you get a white ball.
