Janus and Enceladus
Caption originale:"Wrinkled and cracked Enceladus hangs in the distance as the pitted ring moon Janus, at right, rounds the outer edge of the F-Ring. Enceladus is remarkable for its actively venting South Polar Region, while Janus is known for its orbital swap with the moon Epimetheus. The bright core of the F-Ring is perhaps 50 Km wide and contains numerous clumps and kinks. 
Dimmer, flanking ringlets on either side of the core wind into a tight spiral structure, discovered in Cassini images. 

The image was taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on May 21, 2006, at a distance of approx. 565.000 Km (such as about 351.000 miles) from Janus; 702.000 Km (about 436.000 miles) from Enceladus and 530.000 Km (approx. 329.000 miles) from Saturn. 
Image scale is roughly 3 Km (about 2 miles) per pixel on Janus and approx. 4 Km (a little more than 2 miles) per pixel on Enceladus".
