Dione and the F-Ring (in natural colors)
|
Original caption:"Saturn's moon Dione is about to swing around the edge of the thin F-Ring in this color view. More than one thin strand of the F-Ring's tight spiral can be seen here.
The terrain seen on Dione is on the moon's Saturn-facing hemisphere.
Images taken using infrared, green and ultraviolet spectral filters were composited to create this color view. The images were taken with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on Sept. 20, 2005, at a distance of approx. 2 MKM (about 1,2 MMs) from Dione and at a phase angle of 48°.
The image scale is of about 12 Km (such as roughly 7 miles) per pixel".
