Caption NASA:"The Cassini Spacecraft provides a window on the awesome scale of the Saturn System, with the Giant Planet dominating one of its smaller satellites.
Orbiting here, just outside the Main Ring System, is Janus.
This view looks toward the unilluminated side of the Rings from about 16° above the Ring-Plane. The image was taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on Feb. 13, 2008. The view was obtained at a distance of approx. 1,6 MKM (about 1 MMs) from Janus and approx. 1,8 MKM (about 1,1 MMs) from Saturn.
Image scale is roughly 10 Km (about 6 miles) per pixel on Janus".
