Here's the latest Prometheus image... actually a composite of the four available when I got in to - uh - work.
 I think we are looking at the anti-Saturn end, and down the leading side, from the south. Phil -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.

I expected the tide to orient Atlas so the long axis is pointed toward Saturn. Instead the long axis appears to parallel to its orbit. Is this just an effect of lighting and viewing angle or is something else responsible?
