Initially thought to be the result of "sweeping up" material in the ring plane into a high ridge along the equator, Pan's formation and current shape may actually be the result of multiple collisions along its orbit. https://t.co/OSHY8o92un
A study of the inner moonlets of Saturn could explain the flattened shape of UltimaThule's larger lobe. Direct impacts of equal-sized small bodies lead to flattened shapes. (CG of Ultima Thule, @CassiniSaturn image of Atlas) https://t.co/BHMGg0AfkI https:
@BeckePhysics Oo very good questions! In the case of the moons its probably not accretion of ring material as first believed as they don't have the right shape (see https://t.co/hR1sO0HW1G), so it might be low velocity collisions similar to in the F ring!

Second, Saturn’s inner moons bizarre shapes may be determined by collisions, says this model. There’s also a shoutout to #Iapetus in the paper! https://t.co/u4TiYav4hR
