Hiding behind the Rings

Cassini delivers this stunning vista showing small, battered Epimetheus and smog-enshrouded Titan, with Saturn's A and F-Rings stretching across the scene.
The color information in the colorized view is completely artificial: it is derived from red, green and blue images taken at nearly the same time and phase angle as the clear filter image. This color information was overlaid onto the previously released clear filter view in order to approximate the scene as it might appear to human eyes.
The prominent dark region visible in the A-Ring is the Encke Gap (about 325 Km, or 200 miles wide), in which the moon Pan and several narrow ringlets reside. Moon-driven features which score the A-Ring can easily be seen to the left and right of the Encke Gap.
A couple of bright clumps can be seen in the F-Ring.
Epimetheus is 116 Km (72 miles) across and giant Titan is 5.150 kilometers (3.200 miles) across.

The view was acquired with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on April 28, 2006, at a distance of approx. 667.000 Km (about 415.000 miles) from Epimetheus and 1,8 MKM (about 1,1 MMs) from Titan. The image captures the illuminated side of the Rings. The image scale is roughly 4 Km (about 2 miles) per pixel on Epimetheus and about 11 Km (approx. 7 miles) per pixel on Titan.
