'''Polydeuces (Saturn XXXIV, S/2004 S 5)''' a prograde [[Natural satellite|moon]] of [[Saturn]]. It orbits as a [[w:Trojan (celestial body)|Trojan]] occupying roughly the [[w:Lagrange point|L<sub>5</sub>]], or trailing point 60° behind in the orbit of [[Dione]]. Polydeuces was discovered in 2004 by the [[w:Cassini-Huygens|Cassini]] imaging team on 21 October 2004. Its name is also an alternate name for [[w:Castor and Pollux|Pollux]], twin brother of [[w:Castor and Pollux|Castor]].

== Polydeuces in Orbiter ==
 
−
Polydeuces 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 textures were included for Polydeuces, so, you get a white ball.
