Northern Latitudes of Saturn and the B-Ring's shadow
Caption NASA:"Streaks of cloud are overlain with graceful ring shadows in this view of Saturn's Northern Latitudes. 
Structure is visible in the shadow of the A-Ring and Cassini Division, which widen at the highest latitudes, near lower right. The lower left half of the image does not show the blackness of space, but rather the shadow of the B-Ring, which is perfectly dark here. 

The image was acquired from a high inclination above the Planet's Ring-Plane and looks obliquely toward the limb. (...)

The image was taken with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera using a spectral filter sensitive to wavelengths of infrared light centered at 938 nanometers on Oct. 30, 2006. Cassini was then at a distance of approx. 1,2 MKM (about 700.000 miles) from Saturn and at a Sun-Saturn-spacecraft, or phase, angle of 142°. 
Image scale is roughly 7 Km (a little more than 4 miles) per pixel".
