Clumps in the F-Ring
|
Caption NASA:"The brilliant core of the F-Ring displays a breakaway clump of material, possibly related to the other objects the Cassini spacecraft has witnessed in this dynamic Ring in the past few years of observations.
This view looks toward the unlit side of the Rings from about 58° above the Ring-Plane.
The image was taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on Feb. 10, 2007 at a distance of approx. 1,7 MKM (1,1 MMs) from Saturn.
Image scale is roughly 10 Km (about 6 miles) per pixel".
