Prometheus and Pandora

Saturn's moons Prometheus and Pandora are captured here in a single image taken from less than 1° above the dark side of Saturn's Rings. Pandora is on the right and Prometheus is on the left. Prometheus is 102 Km (63 miles) across, while Pandora is 84 Km (52 miles) across.
The two moons are separated by about 69.000 Km (about 43.000 miles) in this view. The F-Ring, extending farthest to the right, contains a great deal of fine, icy material that is more the size of dust than the boulders thought to comprise the dense B-Ring.
These tiny particles are particularly bright from this viewing geometry, especially at right near the ansa, or edge.
At left of center, a couple of ringlets within the Encke gap (325 Km or 200 miles wide) can also be easily seen due to their fine dust-sized material. The other dark features in the Rings are density waves and bending waves. The image was taken in visible light from a mean distance of 1,85 MKM from the moons.
