	Saturn's Trojan Moon Telesto
		Telesto [tah-LESS-toh] and Calypso [ka-LIP-so] are called the Tethys Trojans because they circle Saturn in the same orbit as Tethys, about 60 degrees ahead of and behind that body.
		Telesto is the leading Trojan and Calypso is the trailing Trojan.
		The image was taken with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on October 11, 2005, at a distance of approximately 10,424 kilometers from Telesto.

		Four examples are known, all in Saturn's system: Telesto and Calypso bracket Tethys, whilst Helene and the newly discovered Polydeuces bracket Dione.

		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).
		Trojan moons are found near stable "Lagrange points" -- places where the gravitational pull of the planet and the larger satellite become balanced.
		The Trojans are situated 60 degrees ahead or behind the larger moon in its orbit.

		Two moons detected in August have been given the names Methone and Pallene, while another found in October has been provisionally named Polydeuces.
		This latter object is an example of a so-called Trojan moon - it is twinned with a larger satellite in orbit around the planet.

		The moons are the first found at Neptune since the Voyager II mission in 1989 and the first detected from the ground since 1949.
		Triton, the largest moon of Neptune, orbits in the opposite direction and is thought to be a captured object.
		Not a true moon, this is an asteroid trapped in an odd gravitational dance with both Neptune and the Sun.

	Saturn
		Irregular moons are typically suspected of being former asteroids that were captured into orbit by the gravitational influence of their host planet.
		However, the common orbits among the small saturnian irregulars indicate that the moons are the remnants of larger moons that were shattered, perhaps by wandering comets or asteroids, while in orbit around Saturn.
		If it is a moon, its diameter is estimated to be 4-5km (two to three miles) and it is located 1,000km (620 miles) from the F-ring, Saturn's outermost ring.

		The moon was previously thought to be an asteroid, but the experts now tell us that Cruithne, which is 3 miles across (4.8km), is in fact a Trojan asteroid, and has an eccentric horseshoe orbit around Earth which takes 770 years to complete.
		Born under the wobbling 'moon' Cruithne, you resonate with the sign of the Waffle.

		The L4 region is known as the Greek camp, while the L5 region is known as the Trojan camp.

		One of these, reported earlier, populates the same orbit as the small moon Atlas; others lie in various gaps in the rings and may indicate the presence of tiny embedded moons coincident with them or acting as shepherds nearby.
		Another reported finding is the observation that the tiny, 5 kilometer (3 mile) -wide moon of Saturn, S/2004 S5 (recently named Polydeuces), discovered by the imaging team and reported late last year, is in fact a Trojan moon of Dione.

		The Trojan war may indirectly have been caused by a golden apple given by Paris, Prince of Troy, to Aphrodite, daughter of Zeus and goddess of love and beauty, who in turn permitted Paris to kidnap Helen, the wife of the Greek hero Menelaus, thereby causing the war.
		The myths of early civilisations are perpetuated in the fairy tales of western Europe recalling exploits involving the sun or moon, bold princes, forlorn princesses, or wise shepherds.

	More from Saturn - including the discovery of a "Trojan" moon
		It is in the same orbit as Dione and along with Helene, is an example of a Trojan moon.

		If there is a central planet with a moon in orbit around it then there are five special points (the Lagrange points) where the gravitational effects of the planet and moon are balanced.

		Calypso trails Tethys in its orbit by 60 degrees.
		Calypso, like many other small Saturnian moons and small asteroids, is irregularly shaped by overlapping large craters.

		They are located in the Moon’s orbit, equidistant from both the Earth and the Moon, with which form congruent equilateral triangles.
		Lagrange’s theories were confirmed a century later with the discovery of the Trojan asteroids in the orbit of Jupiter in 1906, exactly where L4 and L5 would’ve been had Jupiter been the Moon and the Sun been the Earth.

		Doug Hamilton of the University of Maryland said the main radiation belts in the rings are comprised mostly of oxygen and water.

		In this case, the 3-mile-wide (5-kilometer) Polydeuces orbits Saturn in lockstep with the larger moon Dione.

		The tiny moon Polydeuces (about 5 kilometers or 3 miles across, recently discovered by Cassini imaging scientists) is also a Dione Trojan, orbiting 60 degrees behind.
		The image was taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on March 12, 2005, at a distance of approximately 2 million kilometers (1.2 million miles) from Helene and at a Sun-Helene-spacecraft, or phase, angle of 90 degrees.

		The moon moves in a retrograde direction for much of the day, and sometimes is eclipsed by the earth.
		If the moon and earth were of the same density, then they would be almost exactly the same apparent size from L2.

	Classics in Contemporary Culture: Moons - Trojan and Otherwise
		Newly discovered moons of Saturn have been named classically (BBC; PhysOrg) [unlike some others recently found--Ymir et al.--as you can see from this factsheet]: Methone, Pallene, and Polydeuces.
		As the Iliad deals with the events of the Trojan War, the asteroids came to be collectively known as Trojan asteroids.
		Over time, this term has come to be more generally applied to any planetoidal body at the triangular Lagrangian point of any two bodies—besides Jupiter's Trojans, Mars and Neptune have one Trojan each, plus there are Trojan moons around Saturn (Telesto–Tethys–Calypso and Dione–Helene).

	Mission a Trojan Horse?
		President Bush's plan to go to the moon and to Mars without much additional funding will force NASA and Congress to make hard choices -- particularly regarding the space shuttle and the hugely expensive International Space Station, observers said.
		He noted that a new moon landing would not take place until at least 11 years after the end of a possible second Bush term.
		The president's mandate of going to the Mars and moon is certain to put pressure on other NASA projects, such as robotic missions to the planets, asteroid belt and comets -- as well as aeronautics research and securing a replacement for the aging Hubble space telescope, Pike and other observers said.

	Wired News: Mars Mission a Trojan Horse?
		That means the space agency has to figure out how to carry out the mission -- first a return to the moon and later a trip to Mars -- without a lot of additional money in its budget.
		One question that's sure to arise -- assuming Bush's vision for the moon and Mars sticks -- is whether to kill the station and shuttle now, instead of in six to 12 years as the plan currently envisions, said Howard McCurdy, a space historian at American University in Washington.
		The current President Bush only signed on to a new moon-Mars plan after assurances from NASA Administrator Sean O'Keefe that the agency had returned to being the can-do outfit that sent men to the moon in the 1960s, McCurdy said.
