Sidelong View

Caption NASA:"Saturn's enchanting rings display crisply defined edges and strong contrast on their unilluminated side. Atlas (32 Km, or about 20 miles across) sits on the far side of the Rings above center, between the "A" and "F" Rings. This view was acquired from about 1° above the Ring-Plane.

The image was taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on June 21, 2007 at a distance of approx. 2,4 MKM (about 1,5 MMs) from Atlas. Image scale is roughly 14 Km (about 9 miles) per pixel".
