Atlas is a moon of Saturn that was discovered in 1980 using images from the Voyager 1 spacecraft. It has a flattened, slightly elongated shape with a ridge around its equator, which is thought to have formed from gravitational forces from Saturn's rings. Atlas creates a gap in the ring material as it orbits within the A Ring, and its gravity also causes disturbances in the surrounding ring particles. The moon has a relatively smooth surface, suggesting recent geological activity. The Cassini spacecraft captured stunning images of Atlas and its surrounding environment, providing important insights into the complex interactions between moons and ring particles in the Saturnian system.
