Lights through the Rings...
|
Caption NASA:"With the Sun directly behind Cassini, the spacecraft spies the Opposition Surge in Saturn's inner A-Ring. The opposition effect becomes visible from this special viewing geometry. (...)
This view looks toward the Rings from about 11° below the Ring-Plane.
The image was taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft wide-angle camera on Dec. 2, 2006 at a distance of approx. 287.000 Km (178.000 miles) from Saturn. Image scale is roughly 17 Km (about 11 miles) per pixel".
