Saturn and Prometheus
|
Caption NASA originale:"Saturn's moon Prometheus is seen shepherding the inner edge of Saturn's "F-Ring". Prometheus is 102 Km across and was captured in a close-up view by the Cassini spacecraft near the time of orbital insertion at Saturn (see PIA06098). A number of clumps are visible here along the arcing "F-Ring".
The image was taken with the Cassini spacecraft narrow angle camera on Aug. 5, 2004, at a distance of 8.2 MKM from Saturn through a filter sensitive to visible green light. The image scale is 49 Km per pixel. Contrast was slightly enhanced to aid visibility".
