Thanks! I guess I would have thought all of the moons would have been on the same axis as the rings.

Here is a visualization of their orbits. They all follow and stay on their own latitudes - I never knew that. I wonder how that happened? I would have thought they would have orbited the center of the mass of Saturn.
