Pan is the innermost moon of Saturn. It orbits inside of the Encke Gap in Saturn's w:Rings of Saturn#A Ring acting as a shepherd keeping the Encke Gap clear. Pan was imaged by Voyager 2 during its flyby of Saturn in 1981. Pan was predicted by Jeffrey N Cuzzi and Jeffrey D Scargle in 1985 based on the characteristics of the gap, then was found in a number of images.
