Three of Saturn's moons, Prometheus, Pandora, and Atlas, are referred to as "shepherd moons" because they help maintain the structure of Saturn's rings. Their gravitational influence sculpts the ring particles, creating gaps and maintaining the sharp edges of the rings. These moons act like shepherds guiding and controlling the movement of the ring material, ensuring stability and organization within the rings.
