Paaliaq

Paaliaq holds membership within the Inuit group of satellites. Discovered in 2000 by astronomers utilizing the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope, its name originates from Inuit mythology, representing a mythological figure. Its eccentric and inclined orbit differentiates it as an irregular moon, and it is part of a group that includes Ijiraq, Kiviuq, and more, collectively known as the Inuit group. Despite its intriguing classification, limited observational data and its distant location from Earth have obscured our comprehension of Paaliaq's physical attributes, including its size, composition, and surface characteristics. As with other irregular moons, Paaliaq is believed to have been captured by Saturn's gravitational influence, originating from the outer solar system.
