Mimas and the Rings

Original caption:"Saturn's shadow spreads across the Rings here, extending beyond the F-Ring and its tenuous, flanking ringlets. This view catches Saturn's moon Mimas on its day-long sojourn around the Planet.

The image was taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on Aug. 24, 2005, at a distance of approx. 2,1 MKM (such as about 1,3 MMs) from Mimas and at a phase angle of 84°. The image scale is 13 Km (about 8 miles) per pixel".
