Spokes in the Rings of Saturn (Natural Colors; credits: Lunar Explorer Italia)
Caption NASA:"On November 2008 Cassini snapshot showcases a classic view of the triangular shape typical of many of the spokes in Saturn's outer B-Ring. Small particles in the Ring compose the Spokes and these wedge-shaped patterns seem to be appearing more often as Saturn approaches Equinox. 
The moons Pan, Pandora and Janus are also visible. Janus is the farthest outside the Rings. Pandora orbits outside the faint F-Ring. Pan is near the top right of the image and can be seen as a faint sphere cutting a path in the thin black strip of the Encke Gap in the A-Ring. 

This view looks toward the sunlit side of the rings from about 12° below the Ring-Plane.The image was taken in visible light with the Cassini Spacecraft wide-angle camera on Nov. 10, 2008 at a distance of approx. 1 MKM (about 639.000 miles) from Saturn and at a Phase Angle of 29°. 
Image scale is roughly 58 Km (about 36 miles) per pixel".
