Dark Saturn, Bright Rings
|
Caption originale:"The Cassini spacecraft looked toward the darkened night side of Saturn to capture the eerie glow of the Rings, which, not being blocked by the Planet's bulk, remained brilliant in full Sunlight.
The image was taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft wide-angle camera on Dec. 24, 2005, at a distance of approx. 286.000 Km (roughly 178.000 miles) from Saturn.
The image scale is about 13 Km (approx. 8 miles) per pixel".
