Never "Dark Nights"... (natural colors; credits: NASA)
|
Caption NASA:"Titan emerges from behind Saturn, while Tethys streaks into view, in this colorful scene. Saturn's shadow darkens the far arm of the Rings near the Planet's limb. Titan is about 5150 Km (approx. 3200 miles) wide; Tethys is 1071 Km (such as approx. 665 miles) wide.
This view looks toward the unilluminated side of the Rings from about 3° above the Ring-Plane. Images taken using red, green and blue spectral filters were combined to create this natural color view. The images were acquired with the Cassini spacecraft wide-angle camera on Jan. 30, 2008 at a distance of approx. 1,3 MKM (such as about 800.000 miles) from Saturn.
Image scale is roughly 77 Km (about 48 miles) per pixel on Saturn".
