Prometheus and the F-ring

Great picture of Prometheus and it's gravitational perturbations of the inner F-ring. You can actually see the moon is physically linked to the F-ring by a wispy veil of material which is being drawn in by the little moon's gravity. Could it be snowing ring particles at the surface???
