"Flat and Ringless" Saturn...

Caption NASA originale:"Saturn's low density and fast rotation combine to give it its characteristic oblate shape. The dramatic crescent seen here demonstrates how the Ringed Planet is much wider at the equator than at the poles.
The Rings (seem to) disappear near the center into the darkness of the Planet's shadow.

The image was taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft wide-angle camera on July 11, 2006 at a distance of approx. 2,9 MKM (such as about 1,8 MMs) from Saturn and at a Sun-Saturn-spacecraft, or phase, angle of 163°.
Image scale is approx. 169 Km (about 105 miles) per pixel".
