NASA has shared pictures of an object in space that looks like a dumpling. It is actually the innermost moon of Saturn called Pan. NASA's Cassini spacecraft took the images from its closest encounter with Pan, revealing its distinctive dumpling shape. The moon has a flat ridge around its midpoint and lines across its surface. In other news, NASA's OSIRIS-REx mission has delivered a capsule of rocks and dust collected from asteroid Bennu, which will help scientists understand planet formation and ..NASA revealed that its Cassini spacecraft took the images from 15,300 miles (24,600 km) which happens to be its closest encounter with the moon, which is called Pan.

"Pan, the innermost of Saturn’s known moons, orbits the planet from inside a gap in one of Saturn's rings. It completes an orbit every 13.8 hours at an altitude of 83,000 miles (134,000 km). These two images from the Cassini spacecraft show how the spacecraft’s perspective changed as it passed within 15,300 miles (24,600 km) ..
