Crescent Rhea

Caption NASA originale:"Shadow-striped Saturn and its exquisitely thin Rings occupy the near-field view in this Cassini image, while a crescent moon Rhea hangs in the distance.

A couple of bright pixels at the center of the image mark the location of the tiny moon Pan (only 26 Km, or 16 miles across).

The image was taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on Feb. 3, 2006, at a distance of approx. 4,1 MKM (2,5 MMs) from Saturn and 4,6 MKM (2,9 MMs) from Rhea. The image scale is 28 Km (approx. 17 miles) per pixel on Rhea".
