Pink Rings and Enceladus, in "natural colors"
Caption NASA originale:"Saturn's icy moon Enceladus hovers above Saturn's exquisite Rings in this color view from Cassini. 
The Rings, made of nearly pure water ice, have also become somewhat contaminated by meteoritic dust during their history, which may span several hundred million years. Enceladus shares the Rings' nearly pure water ice composition, but appears to have eluded dust contamination through resurfacing processes that scientists are still trying to fully understand. Dust affects the Rings' color, while differences in brightness are attributable to varying particle sizes and concentrations. The images for this natural color view were taken with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on April 5, 2005, at a distance of approximately 2,2 MKM (approx. 1,4 MMs) from Saturn through red, green and blue spectral filters. The image scale is 13 Km (about 8 miles) per pixel".
