Caption NASA:"This bizarre scene shows the cloud-streaked limb of Saturn in front of the Planet's B-Ring. The Ring's image is warped near the limb by the diffuse gas in Saturn's Upper Atmosphere.
For additional examples of this effect, see PIA09810, PIA07521 and PIA06656.
This view looks toward the sunlit side of the Rings, from about 31° below the Ring-Plane. North on Saturn is up.
The image was taken with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on June 24, 2008 using a spectral filter sensitive to wavelengths of infrared light centered at 750 nanometers. The view was acquired at a distance of approx. 657.000 Km (about 408,000 miles) from Saturn.
Image scale is roughly 4 Km (about 2,5 miles) per pixel".
