The largest "egg" in the world


It’s called Methone (or Metone), a small, egg-shaped rocky satellite with a diameter of just 3 kilometers, orbiting within our solar system. Located 194,000 km from Saturn, its orbit experiences oscillations of about 20 km due to the gravitational influence of the nearby moon Mimas.
 
Another distinctive feature of this “space egg” is that, among all the rocky satellites in our solar system, it appears to have the smoothest surface. Also known as Saturn XXXII, Methone completes one orbit around Saturn in a single day.
