Spokes (1)

After much anticipation, Cassini has finally spotted the elusive "spokes" in Saturn's Rings.
"Spokes" are the ghostly Radial Markings discovered in the Rings by NASA's Voyager spacecraft 25 years ago. Since that time, Spokes had been seen in images taken by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope but had not, until now, been seen by Cassini.
These three images, taken over a span of 27', show a few faint, narrow Spokes in the outer B-Ring. The Spokes are about 3500 Km (2200 miles) long and about 100 Km wide (60 miles). The motion of the Spokes here is from left to right.
They are seen just prior to disappearing into the Planet's shadow on the Rings.
