It's Saturn's 6th-largest moon, Enceladus.

Here's Saturn's largest moon Titan, which also happens to be the 2nd largest moon in the solar system behind Jupiter's Ganymede. Titan apparently produces methane, so it's essentially a big space fart...  :D

What is the black dot supposed to be?

It has too strange a curve to be a moon...

It doesn't really look like it, is all I'm saying, and that weird curve that 'Venus' takes...  :-\ ???

That's 'cos we're moving too - the whole equations of motion of three bodies moving in different orbits relative to one another, at different speeds, makes for quite complicated patterns in the sky.

Oh, of course, I'm so used to see stationary models...  :D

Don't put off until tomorrow, what you can put off until the day after.

There is an exception to every rule, apart from this one.

Yeah, I know, but often times when planets are shown, they are stationary models, and sometimes I forget that.  :D

It would be better for every ugly dog to wear such a mask:
