Encke Division

(Redirected from Encke division)


The Encke Division, also called the Encke Gap, is a perceived gap within Saturn's A Ring.

The division starts at a distance 133,580 kilometers from Saturn's center extending another 325 kilometers. Within this gap, Saturn's moon Pan orbits.

Images from the Cassini probe have shown that there is a thin, knotted ringlet within the gap.
