Methone (Saturn XXXII, S/2004 S 1) a moon of Saturn. It orbits outside of the ring system between the orbits of Mimas and Enceladus. Methone was discovered in 2004 by the Cassini imaging team. It was named after on of the seven beautiful daughters of Alcyoneus.

Methone in Orbiter[edit]

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.
