I went back to the November 11th, 2012 A-ring sequence, downloaded the images, made a movie from it, and rotated it to match the direction and view of the sequence captured on Valentine's Day.

November 11th, 2012, Rev 174 A-Ring Sequence



Note Daphnis at the :50 mark and Bleriot at 1:00 in the November video.


Very nice! - and Pan is visible at 1.11 too.

Incidentally, I don't know if this is a repost, but whilst we're talking 'propellers' there's a very nice computer simulation here which beautifully illustrates the orbital mechanics which produce these features.

Oh cool! Very interesting to see a simulation of the process in action. Thanks for posting that.
