One in the Shadows, one in the Lights
Caption NASA originale:"The unlit side of the Rings glows with scattered Sunlight as two moons circle giant Saturn. The light reaching Cassini in this view has traveled many paths before being captured. 
At left, Mimas (397 Km, or 247 miles across) presents its "Dark Side". Enceladus (505 Km, or 314 miles across), on the Far Side of the Rings, is lit by "Saturnshine," or reflected sunlight coming from the planet. Saturn, in turn, is faintly lit in the south by light reflecting off the Rings. 

Saturn's shadow darkens the Rings, tapering off toward the left side of this view. 

The image was taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on June 11, 2006 at a distance of approx. 3,9 MKM (about 2,5 MMs) from Mimas, 4,3 MKM (approx. 2,7 MMs) from Enceladus and 4,1 MKM (about 2,6 MMs) from Saturn. 
Image scale is roughly 25 Km (approx. 16 miles) per pixel on Saturn".
Parole chiave: Saturn and Companions
