Loge Has a Retrograde Orbit.

Saturn’s moon Loge has a retrograde orbit, meaning that it travels around Saturn in the opposite direction of the planet’s rotation. Loge also has an eccentric orbit that is more elongated than circular. It is part of a group of Saturn’s moons known as the "Norse moons” (they are named for Norse mythology); they all have eccentric orbits.
