Should Themis really be included in the moon navigator? Other moons that were not confirmed aren't included. --Patteroast 07:56, 17 Aug 2004 (UTC)

This one is rather unique from a historical perspective, as it was "discovered" twice, rather early in history, and stayed around for a long time in reference books until it was dismissed. Recent cases are much more evanescent in nature. I think it should stay.

[edit] Latimer's Story

Philip Latimer, in his novel Missing Men of Saturn, has Themis collide with Titan, "getting rid of the little nuisance once and for all", according to the introduction. CFLeon 22:34, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Themis disproven

When and how exactly was Themis proven to not be a moon of Saturn? That info should rate a couple of sentences in the article, more than just 'However, Pickering was mistaken...'. There isn't any info on it on the Saturn's natural satellites page either.
