Can you guess what this dumpling-like object is? Hint: It’s from out of this world
NASA took to Instagram to share a picture that shows an uncanny resemblance of a celestial body to dumplings. No wrong answers,” NASA wrote as they posted the photo that shows Pan from two different angles. “The ridge around Pan's equator is similar to Saturn’s moon Atlas, and gives the moon its distinctive dumpling shape,” they added. NASA added that the moon was first discovered by MR Showalter in 1990 using the images taken by Voyager 2 spacecraft. These recent images of Pan were captured by the Cassini spacecraft while passing within 15,300 miles of the moon.
