Albiorix

Albiorix holds a place within the Gallic group of satellites. Discovered in 2000 by astronomers using the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope, its name draws from Celtic mythology, representing a deity associated with Mars and Jupiter. Albiorix's irregular nature stems from its eccentric and inclined orbit, setting it apart from Saturn's larger regular moons that orbit closer to the planet's equatorial plane. As part of the Gallic group, alongside moons like Erriapus and Bebhionn, Albiorix shares similar orbital characteristics, hinting at a potential shared origin, possibly linked to the fragmentation of a larger moon. However, the moon's physical traits, encompassing aspects such as size, composition, and surface attributes, remain largely enigmatic due to its distance from Earth and the scarcity of observational data. Like its counterparts, Albiorix is believed to have been captured by Saturn's gravitational force, originating from the outer solar system.
