SUMMARY
A small moon (6 a) close to a gas giant's rings (744 km away), on a fast orbit.	→	A small moon (6 a) close to a gas giant's rings (744 km away), on a fast orbit.
DESCRIPTION
A small moon orbiting a gas giant only 744 km from its rings. It has a rather fast orbit, at 0.9 days. The two combined mean that individual asteroids can be seen, and the sight is like a river flowing through the sky. The moon has a surface gravity of only 0.04 g, and geological activity means there are water geysers. Although the close distance to the rings might tempt Commanders to get inside an SRV and launch towards them, the Galactic Exploration Catalog's legal department advises against attempting this. According to the moon's discoverer, to get the best view, it's prudent to slope at an angle of about 70° towards the rings. More recordings and information from the discoverer can be found [here](https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/14sV0e42k1LxwheuhBtDi8j8m_ngQwlLK?usp=sharing).	→	A small moon orbiting a gas giant only 744 km from its rings.
