Eggther (Saturn LIX ), provisionally known as S/2004 S 27 , is a natural satellite of Saturn . Its discovery was announced by Scott S. Sheppard , David C. Jewitt , and Jan Kleyna on October 7, 2019 from observations taken between December 12, 2004 and March 21, 2007.[3] It was given its permanent designation in August 2021.[4] On 24 August 2022, it was officially named after Eggþér , a jötunn from Norse mythology .[5] He is the herder of the female jötunn (probably Angrboða ) who lives in Járnviðr (Ironwood) and raises monstrous wolves.[6] [7] [8] In the poem Völuspá , Eggþér is described as sitting on a mound and joyfully striking his harp while the red rooster Fjalarr begins to crow to herald the onset of Ragnarök .[7]
Eggther is about 6 kilometres in diameter, and orbits Saturn at an average distance of 19.976 Gm in 1054.45 days, at an inclination of 168° to the ecliptic, in a retrograde direction and with an eccentricity of 0.122.[3]
