Shepherds

Cassini images Prometheus
And Pandora, moons that
Constrain the extent of
Saturn's F ring

Their gravity serves to maintain
A sharply-defined edge
To the ring; material that drifts
Closer to the shepherd moon's
Orbit is either deflected back
Into the body of the ring, ejected
From the system, or accreted
Onto the moon itself
