Rings, moons, and a star

Daphnis and Prometheus
Here we see two of Saturn's moons affecting the rings. No, no the bright spot below the F ring; that's not a moon. That's a star. But above it is Prometheus, twisting the F ring, and Daphnis is up towards the top, in the Keeler Gap, creating ripples in the A ring.

As always, see Cassini site for details.
