Known Space -- Sol -- Saturn -- | Telesto |
Telesto is the tenth of Saturn's satellites, and one of the smallest moons in the solar system.
Telesto and Calypso are called the Tethys Trojans because they circle Saturn in the same orbit as Tethys, about 60 degrees ahead of and behind that body. Telesto is the leading Trojan (that is, it is at the leading Lagrange point).
