Night-flight around Saturn...
Caption NASA originale:"Saturn's shadow cuts sharply across the Rings in this remarkable night side view. 

The Planet's Northern Latitudes are in darkness in the upper portion of this scene, while the Southern reaches are bathed in Ringshine. On the left, Sunlight filters through the Rings, and on the right the Rings are blocking the reflected Ringshine in the shadow of Saturn. The overexposed, sunlit crescent at lower left marks the transition from Saturnian day to night. 

Mimas hovers below center - a tiny bauble, ornamenting the Ringed Giant. 

The image was taken in visible green light with the Cassini spacecraft wide-angle camera on August 19, 2006 at a distance of approx. 1,5 MKM (about 1 MMs) from Mimas and 1,7 MKM (about 1,1 MMs) from Saturn. 
Image scale is roughly 92 Km (about 57 miles) per pixel on Mimas and approx. 103 Km (about 64 miles) on Saturn".
Parole chiave: Postcard from Saturn
