In-transit over Saturn's Terminator...

Enceladus hangs like a single bright pearl against the golden-brown canvas of Saturn and its icy Rings. Visible on Saturn is the Region where daylight gives way to dusk (--> crepuscolo). Above, the Rings throw thin shadows onto the Planet.

Images taken using red, green and blue spectral filters were combined to create this natural color view.
The images were taken using the Cassini spacecraft wide-angle camera on Jan. 17, 2006 at a distance of approx. 200.000 Km (about 100.000 miles) from Enceladus.
The image scale is approx. 10 Km (about 6 miles) per pixel.
