Caption NASA:"The effects of three of Saturn's Ring Moons can be spotted in this single narrow-angle camera view.
The image has been strongly enhanced to better show the wakes on both sides of the Encke Gap caused by Pan (left of center), as well as a hint of the edge waves in the narrow Keeler Gap caused by Daphnis (just below center).
Bright Prometheus (on the right) pulls away from its latest close encounter with the F-Ring. The aftereffects of its recent passes are visible in the Ring's inner edge.
This view looks toward the unilluminated side of the Rings from about 10° above the Ping-Plane.
Saturn's shadow cuts across the Rings at the top of the scene.
The image was taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on June 5, 2007 at a distance of approx. 2,3 MKM (about 1,4 MMs) from Pan.
Image scale is about 13 Km (approx. 8 miles) per pixel".
