Enceladus from 1,1 MKM
Caption NASA originale:"Saturn's bright moon Enceladus hovers here, in front of the Rings darkened by Saturn's shadow.
This view is from less than 1° beneath the Ring plane. If seen from directly beneath the Rings, the planet's giant shadow would appear as an elongated half-ellipse; the acute viewing angle makes the shadow look more like a strip here. The dark shadow first takes a bite out of the rings at the right, where the distant, outermost ring material appears to taper and fade. Ring features visible in this image from the outer ring edge inward include: the A-Ring, the Cassini Division and the B-Ring. The C-Ring is the darker region that dominates the Rings here. The 2 gaps visible near the center and below the left of the center are the Titan Gap, about 77.800 Km from Saturn and an unnamed gap about 75.800 Km from the planet. The image was taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on March 7, 2005, at a distance of approx. 1,1 MKM from Enceladus, at a phase angle of 30°".
