Daphnis, Atlas and the Rings
Caption NASA:"Across the expanse of Saturn's Rings, the Cassini spacecraft spies 2 small moons in consort. 
Atlas is seen exterior to the bright outer edge of the A-Ring. Daphnis, below Atlas in this view, orbits Saturn within the narrow Keeler Gap. The presence of Daphnis is revealed by the waves it raises in the ring material surrounding it on the edges of the gap. Daphnis and its waves moved between exposures taken to create this color view, resulting in their slight displacement in each color. 
This view looks toward the unilluminated side of the Rings from about 18° above the Ring-Plane. Bright clumps are visible in the narrow F-Ring. 

Images taken using red, green and blue spectral filters were combined to create this natural color view. The images were acquired with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on April 13, 2007 at a distance of approx. 1,8 MKM (about 1,1 MMs) from Atlas. 

Image scale is roughly 11 Km (about 7 miles) per pixel".
