	New Scientist Breaking News - Prometheus caught stealing from Saturn's rings
		Prometheus and another moon - Pandora, which orbits just outside the ring - bookend the ring and have been called "shepherd" moons because they appear to keep the ring in line.
		But this image confirms that sometimes the moon also strips material from its neighbouring ring, as a stream of material appears to be drawn from the innermost bright strand toward the moon.
		It is currently unclear to astronomers whether the wobbles in the bright central strand near Prometheus are associated with the moon.

		This potato-shaped moon is also believed to be responsible for kinks within Saturn's thin F ring, a contorted, narrow ring flanked by two small moons, Prometheus and Pandora.
		In an image taken on Oct. 29, Prometheus is seen stealing particles from the F ring while connected to the ringlets by a faint streak of material.
		Scientists are not sure exactly how Prometheus is interacting with the F ring here, but they have speculated that the moon might be gravitationally pulling material away from the ring.

	Galileo Sees a Hawaiian-Style Volcano on Io
		Left: The active volcano Prometheus on Jupiter's moon Io was imaged by the near-infrared mapping spectrometer instrument onboard NASA's Galileo spacecraft during the close flyby of Io on October 10, 1999.
		From this vent, lava is transported 10 kilometers (6 miles) in lava tubes to the Pacific Ocean where large steam plumes are generated by the interaction between the hot lava and the ocean.
		Galileo scientists believe the plume seen on the western end of Prometheus is similar to this Hawaiian steam plume, except the Ionian plume is composed largely of sulfur dioxide and rises much higher because of Io's low atmospheric density and gravity.
