Unbelievable "Streamers"...
Caption NASA originale:"This close-up view of the core of Saturn's narrow outlying F-Ring provides an unprecedented look at the fine scale structure of this highly perturbed Ring. 
The structure seen here could be further evidence of the gravitational effects of small moons orbiting in the F-Ring Region. The moons could produce the basic structure which then starts to shear - the inner/lower part of the F-Ring core orbits Saturn faster than the outer/upper part - giving rise to the slanted features. 

The image was taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on Sept. 25, 2006 at a distance of approx. 254.000 Km (about 158.000 miles) from Saturn and at a phase angle of 28°. Scale in the original image was roughly 1 Km (3.845 feet) per pixel. The image has been magnified by a factor of two and contrast enhanced".
