	Phoebe
		Phoebe is the daughter of Uranus and Gaia; grandmother of Apollo and Artemis.
		Phoebe's orbit is inclined almost 175° (its north pole is in the opposite direction to Saturn's).
		Phoebe's eccentric, retrograde orbit and unusual albedo indicates that it may be a captured comet or Kuiper Belt object.

	Cassini-Huygens: Operations-Approach & Phoebe
		Phoebe is roughly spherical and has a diameter of 220 kilometers (about 136.7 miles), which is equal to about one-fifteenth of the diameter of Earth's moon.
		Phoebe's orbit is also retrograde, which means it goes around Saturn in the opposite direction of most other moons -- as well as of most other objects in the solar system.
		Phoebe's darkness in particular suggests that the small moon comes from the outer solar system, a region known as the Kuiper Belt, where many celestial bodies contain dark material.

	Saturn's Moon Phoebe
		Phoebe [FEE-bee], one of the outer satellites of Saturn, was discovered by William H. Pickering from a photographic plate taken on the night of August 16, 1898 with a 24-inch refracting telescope located in Areguipa, Peru.
		On June 11, 2004 the real nature of Phoebe was uncovered during the flyby of the Cassini spacecraft at a distance of 2,068 kilometers (1,285 miles).
		Phoebe's mass was determined from precise tracking of the spacecraft and optical navigation, combined with an accurate volume estimate from images.

		Phoebe (FEE-bee) is one of Saturn's most intriguing satellites, orbiting at a distance of 12,952,000 kilometers (8,049,668 miles) from the planet, almost four times the distance from Saturn than its nearest neighbor, the moon Iapetus.
		Phoebe is roughly spherical and has a diameter of about 220 kilometers (about 132 miles), about one-fifteenth the diameter of Earth's moon.

	AllRefer.com - Phoebe, in astronomy (Astronomy, General) - Encyclopedia
		Also known as Saturn IX (or S9), Phoebe is 137 mi (220 km) in diameter, orbits Saturn at a mean distance of 8,047,985 mi (12,952,000 km), has an orbital period of 550.5 earth days, and rotates on its axis in about nine hours.
		Phoebe is the only one of the moons that orbits with retrograde motion, i.e., opposite to that of the planet's rotation.
		The sharp inclination of its orbit and its retrograde motion encourage the belief that Phoebe is a captured object similar to an asteroid rather than a native satellite.

		Phoebe may be an icy interloper from the distant outer solar system which found itself captured by giant Saturn in its earliest, formative years.
		Final conclusions on Phoebe's origins await a combination of the results on Phoebe's surface structures, mass and composition gathered from all 11 instruments, which collected data during the flyby on June 11, 2004.

		Phoebe might not feel too honored by a solar-system object that bears her name: one of the moons of Saturn.
		Phoebe is almost 35 times farther from Saturn than our moon is from Earth.
		That may mean that Phoebe started out as an asteroid, but was captured by Saturn's powerful gravity when it passed close to the planet.

		Phoebes may build their mud and grass nests inside or under the eaves of barns and sheds; they favor the undersides of bridges and culverts.
		In addition to their easily recognized song, phoebes are distinguished by their habit of slowly and incessantly wagging their tail, often with a sideways motion.
		Eastern Phoebes are among the hardiest of flycatchers.

		Phoebe shows an unusual variation in brightness over its surface due to the existence on some crater slopes and floors of bright material -- thought to contain ice -- on what is otherwise one of the darkest known bodies in the solar system.
		Hints of Phoebe's irregular topography can be seen peeking out from the shadows near the lower left and upper left parts of the image.
		The emerging view of Phoebe is that it might have been part of an ancestral population of icy, comet-like bodies, some of which now reside in the Kuiper Belt beyond Neptune.

	New Scientist Breaking News - Saturn's moon reveals violent past
		Phoebe was snapped by Cassini on Friday evening as the craft flew within 2000 kilometres of the moon.
		Because of these quirks it has been suggested that Phoebe was either an asteroid or comet captured by the giant planet's gravitational field.
		The images back the theory that Phoebe probably formed in the chilly outer Solar System, perhaps in a reservoir of comets beyond Neptune called the Kuiper belt, and was later captured by Saturn.

		Phoebe's surface is already showing a great deal of contrast, most likely indicative of topography, such as tall sunlit peaks and deep shadowy craters, as well as genuine variation in the reflectivity of its surface materials.
		Phoebe orbits Saturn in a direction opposite to that of the larger interior Saturnian moons.
		Because of its small size and retrograde orbit Phoebe is believed to be a body from the distant outer solar system, perhaps one of the building blocks of the outer planets that were captured into orbit around Saturn.
