A "Bright Pearl" in the Darkness: Pan in the Gap

Caption NASA originale:"This Cassini spacecraft view of Pan in the Encke Gap shows hints of detail on the moon's dark side, which is lit by Saturnshine -- sunlight reflected off Saturn.
Pan (26 Km, or 16 miles across) cruises the Encke Gap (325 Km, or 200 miles wide) with several faint ringlets.
This view looks toward the lit side of the Rings from about 52° below the Ring-Plane. The sunlit portion of Pan is partly overexposed.

The image was taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on Oct. 27, 2006 at a distance of approx. 385.000 Km (about 239.000 miles) from Pan and at a Sun-Pan-spacecraft, or phase, angle of 86°. Image scale is roughly 2 Km (1,4 miles) per pixel".
