Prometheus is a natural satellite of Saturn, discovered in 1980 by the Voyager 1 spacecraft. It is named after the Titan in Greek mythology who stole fire from the gods and gave it to humanity. Prometheus is classified as a "shepherd moon" because it is responsible for maintaining the structure of the F ring, a narrow and faint ring of particles around Saturn.
