S/2004 S29

S/2004 S29, classified as an irregular moon of Saturn, resides within the Gallic group of satellites. Its discovery in 2004, accomplished through observations using the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope, led to its name being drawn from Celtic mythology. S/2004 S29's irregular orbit, characterized by its eccentric and inclined trajectory, sets it apart from Saturn's larger regular moons that adhere to the planet's equatorial plane. As part of the Gallic group, alongside moons like Albiorix and Erriapus, S/2004 S29 shares similar orbital characteristics, suggesting a plausible common origin, potentially originating from the breakup of a larger moon. Yet, due to its remote location from Earth and the scarcity of observational data, S/2004 S29's physical attributes, encompassing factors such as its size, composition, and surface characteristics, remain veiled in mystery. It is thought that S/2004 S29, like its irregular counterparts, was captured by Saturn's gravitational force, signifying an origin from the outer solar system.
