Enceladus, in the distance (Natural Colors; credits: Lunexit)
Caption NASA:"The Cassini Spacecraft looks past the illuminated side of Saturn's Rings to the brilliant moon Enceladus. 
Although the moon's brightness may make it appear closer to the observer, Enceladus is actually farther from the Spacecraft than the Rings in this image. As Saturn's brightest, whitest satellite, Enceladus (about 504 Km, or approx. 313 miles across) has one of the most reflective surfaces (---> Albedo) in the Solar System. 
The Rings have been brightened relative to the moon to enhance visibility. This view looks toward the sunlit side of the rings from about 5° below the Ring-Plane. 

The image was taken in Visible Light with the Cassini Spacecraft wide-angle camera on June 25, 2009. The view was obtained at a distance of approx. 670.000 Km (about 416.000 miles) from Enceladus and at a Sun-Enceladus-Spacecraft, or Phase, Angle of 51°. 
Image scale is roughly 40 Km (about 25 miles) per pixel".
