Three of Saturn's moons—Prometheus, Pandora, and Janus—are known as shepherd moons because they help maintain the structure of Saturn's rings. Their gravitational influence keeps the ring particles in place, preventing them from spreading out and creating gaps within the rings. This dynamic interaction allows these moons to "shepherd" the material around them, contributing to the distinct features and boundaries observed in Saturn's rings.
