Télesto (S XIII Telesto) is a natural satellite of Saturn, discovered by Smith, Reitsema, Larson and Fountain in 1980 in observations made starting from the Ground (temporary designation S/1980 S 13 ). It shares its orbit with Téthys, and is with the Point Lagrange L4 preceding Téthys. Calypso, another Saturn moon, is at the point of Lagrange L5 following Téthys.
It draws its name from the one of the 3000 Océanides, nymphs watery girls of Océanus and Téthys.
Simple: Telesto (moon) Zh-min-nan: Telesto (oē-chheⁿ)
