Brothers-in-arms, Brothers-in-light
Epimetheus (116 Km - about 72 miles - across, at right) and Janus (181 Km - about 113 miles - across, at left) are lit here by reflected "greylight" from Saturn. The Sun brightens only thin slivers of the moons' surfaces. 
A few large craters on Janus are visible in the dim light of Saturn. 

The image was taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on Nov. 29, 2005 a distance of approximately 1,1 MKM  (about 700.000 miles) from both moons. Resolution in the original image was 7 Km (about 4 miles) per pixel. The image has been magnified by a factor of two and contrast-enhanced to aid visibility.
