Keeler gap

They also discovered the small Maxwell and Keeler gaps in the rings.

The Keeler Gap, within which Daphnis orbits, is about 42 km wide.

It orbits inside the Keeler Gap in Saturn's rings.

Recent Cassini photographs showed a tiny moon orbiting the Keeler Gap in the ring system.

A narrower gap 2% of the ring width from the outer edge is called the Keeler Gap.

Daphnis is about 8 kilometres in diameter, and orbits the planet in the Keeler Gap within the A ring.

The Keeler Gap is a 42-kilometre-wide gap in the A Ring, approximately 250 kilometres from the ring's outer edge.

The second major gap in the A Ring, discovered by Voyager, was named the Keeler Gap in his honor.

Before it was photographed, the existence of a moon in Daphnis's position had already been inferred from gravitational ripples observed on the outer edge of the Keeler gap.

In addition to the Keeler gap in Saturn's rings, craters on Mars and the Moon are named in his honor, as is the asteroid 2261 Keeler.

In the rings of Saturn, the Encke and Keeler gaps within the A Ring are cleared by 1:1 resonances with the embedded moonlets Pan and Daphnis, respectively.

Imaging scientists had predicted the new moon's presence and its orbital distance from Saturn after last July's sighting of a set of peculiar spiky and wispy features in the Keeler gap's outer edge.

May 10 - At the beginning of a period focussed observation of the ring system of Saturn, slated to take until September, mission scientist announced the discovery of a new moon in the "Keeler gap" inside the "A" ring.

The script contains several detailed scientific references, such as the Keeler Gap in the rings of Saturn, the asteroid 2261 Keeler and the Keeler crater on Mars, all named after astronomer James Edward Keeler.

The probes discovered and confirmed several new satellites orbiting near or within the planet's rings, as well as the small Maxwell Gap (a gap within the C Ring) and Keeler gap (a 42 km wide gap in the A Ring).

He also made observations of Saturn and the gaps in its rings (he was the first to see the narrow division in the rings of Saturn now known as the Keeler Gap after James Keeler), and unsuccessfully attempted to determine the rotation period of Venus.
