A huge clump in the F-Ring
|
Caption NASA:"The F-Ring dissolves into a fuzzy stream of particles -- rather different from its usual appearance of a narrow, bright core flanked by dimmer ringlets.
Also notable here is the bright clump of material that flanks the Ring's core.
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 (such about 1,1 MMs) from Saturn. Image scale is roughly 10 Km (about 6 miles) per pixel".
