	Polydeuces (moon) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Polydeuces was discovered on October 24, 2004 in images taken on October 21, 2004 by the Cassini imaging team and given the temporary designation S/2004 S 5.
		Polydeuces' libration is large enough that it takes on some qualities of a tadpole orbit, as evidenced by the clear assymetry between excursions towards and away from Dione.
		In Greek mythology, Polydeuces is another name for Pollux, twin brother of Castor, son of Zeus and Leda.

		Polydeuces is an example of a so-called Trojan moon -- it is twinned with a larger moon in orbit around the planet (in the case of Polydeuces, the larger moon is Dione).
		Polydeuces is a trailing co-orbital of Dione, while the moon Helene is the leading co-orbital.
		It is believed that Polydeuces can get as close as 39 degrees to Dione and then drift as far as 92 degrees from it, taking over two years to complete its journey around the Lagrange point.
