F-Ring or just "Saturnian Neon-Lights"?...
|
Caption NASA:"Bright strands in Saturn's ever changing F-Ring emerge from the Planet's shadow. The F-Ring usually has a single bright core, about 50 Km (31 miles) across, but the section of the ring seen here appears to have a second bright strand.
Several background stars are visible by the trails they created while the image was being exposed.
This view looks toward the unlit side of the Rings from about 59° above the Ring-Plane.
The image was taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on Feb. 9, 2007 at a distance of approx. 1,7 MKM (about 1,1 MMs) from Saturn.
Image scale is roughly 10 Km (about 6 miles) per pixel".
