Calypso (Saturn XIV, S/1980 S 25) is a moon of Saturn. It was discovered in 1980 by Dan Pascu, P Kenneth Seidelmann, William A Baum, and Douglas G Currie. Calypso is co-orbital with Tethys and orbits about 60° trailing Tethys (L5) whereas Telesto orbits about 60° ahead (L4) of Tethys. Calypso and Telesto are two of the four known Saturn Trojan moons.
