From what I've read they think its a loose collection of dust and ice held in place by minimal gravity.

Let me be the first to post here:  "That's no moon...."

On the other hand, how appropriate for such an unusual moon to be named "Pan".

Cassini got some great shots out there. Too bad we couldn't afford to send it with a color camera.

You are right.  It looks more like a an unfurled condom.

Makes you wonder if Uranus and Neptune have shepherds moons as well, since their ring systems aren't as defined or glorious.
