So far NASA has counted 63 definitive Moons around Saturn, and named them all.
However one small moon named, Methone: has been found to have no craters on its surface, after a flybye.
Very unusual.

Considering the vast expanse of empty space, it always surprises me that there are so many impact craters out there. Perhaps this little “egg” really has escaped.

There never was nothing.
