So _1_6_10_7 is 1:600000000 or one in 60 million.&nbsp;</p><h4>S13 Telesto</h4><p>Telesto is a small moon of <a href="https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/57355-saturn-scaled-one-in-500-million">Saturn</a>, orbiting in the same orbit of <a href="https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/57257-tethys-scaled-one-in-ten-million">Tethys</a> 60 degrees before the bigger moon. This point of relatively stable orbit relative to two bigger objects is known as Lagrangian point L4, where the attraction of the orbited object (Saturn) is equal to that of the coorbital object (Tethys) in the rotational reference.</p><ul><li><strong>Type:</strong> Satellite&nbsp;</li><li><strong>Orbit:</strong> Saturn.

These kinds of orbit are also known as trojan orbits, trojans of Tethys; it is not a formal name, but an analogy to the trojans of Jupiter.</p><ul><li><strong>Type:</strong> Satellite&nbsp;</li><li><strong>Orbit:</strong> Saturn.
