: the fourth largest satellite of Saturn with a diameter of approximately 700 miles (1120 km)

Three other new Saturnian moons have been identified in recent years by spacecraft and ground-based telescopes. Two of them are especially intriguing because they lie in essentially the same orbit about 94,000 miles from the planet. The third is a small, asteroid-size satellite moving along in the same orbit much farther ahead of the larger moon, Dione, 234,000 miles from Saturn.
