The "Runners"...again!

Janus and Epimetheus continue to separate, following their orbital swap in January 2006. Until 2010, Janus will remain the innermost of the pair, whose orbits around Saturn are separated by only about 50 Km (such as approx. 31 miles) on average.
Epimetheus appears just right of the bright A-Ring ansa, or edge, while Janus is seen near the upper right. The faint F-Ring extends across the image and Janus appears directly between its near and far edges.

The image was taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on April 16, 2006, at a distance of approx. 3,7 MKM (such as about 2,3 MMs) from Saturn. The image scale is approx. 22 Km (about 14 miles) per pixel on both Janus and Epimetheus.
