Pan is the closest known moon to Saturn's surface. It was discovered by Mark R. Showalter in 1990, by looking at pictures sent back from Voyager. Because Pan is very small, and so far away, there is not much we know about it.

Some gaps are cleared out by the passage of tiny moonlets such as Pan, many more of which may yet be undiscovered, and some ringlets seem to be maintained by the gravitational effects of small shepherd satellites such as Prometheus and Pandora.
Cabe aclara que esta analogía no está completa pues, las pasitas del pan tan sólo tienen tres dimensiones: altura, ancho y profundidad. Sin embargo, el Universo tiene 4 dimensiones: altura, ancho, profundidad y tiempo.

Usually, it is depicted as a goat with a fish tail, which might relate to a story about the god Pan. Pan, fleeing a monster called Typhon, jumed into the river Nile.
In simple bathroom scales, for example, the force f is proportional to the displacement of the spring beneath the weighing pan (see Hooke's law), and the scales are calibrated to take g into account, allowing the mass M to be read off.

Ideally, their optical instruments can pan to compensate for the target's apparent motion in the instruments' field of view. They must downlink data to Earth, storing data onboard during the periods when their antennas are off Earthpoint.
