Telesto

In Greek mythology, Telesto (alternate: Telestho, both meaning "success") was a daughter of Oceanus and Tethys.


Telesto is a moon of Saturn, discovered by Smith, Reitsema, Larson and Fountain in 1980 from ground-based observations. It is co-orbital with Tethys, residing in Tethys' leading Lagrangian point (L4). The moon Calypso resides in Tethys' trailing Lagrangian point.
