Short Description Anthe is a very small natural satellite of Saturn lying between the orbits of Mimas and Enceladus. It is named after one of the Alkyonides; the name means flowery. The close proximity to the orbits of Pallene and Methone suggests that these moons may form a dynamical family. Material blasted off Anthe by micrometeoroid impacts is thought to be the source of the Anthe Ring Arc, a faint partial ring about Saturn co-orbital with the moon first detected in June 2007.
