Pandora
|
Original caption:"Saturn's moon Pandora is almost overwhelmed by the brightness of the F-Ring in this view. The F-Ring's bright core displays kinks and is flanked by fainter ringlets. Imaging scientists recently determined these fainter ringlets to be a single spiral ring that winds around the Planet. Pandora is faintly lit by "Saturnshine," or reflected light from the planet, and few features can be seen here. This image was acquired by Cassini exactly three hours after the spacecraft took the image seen in previous PIA07601, which showed Prometheus interior to the F-Ring.
The image was taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on Aug. 21, 2005, at a distance of appx. 583.000 Km from Saturn and at a high Sun-Saturn-spacecraft angle of 136°. Resolution is about 3 Km per pixel".
Nota: osservate il frame PIA07530 e poi confrontate le due immagini di Pandora. A noi sembra che ci sia una "profonda" differenza e che il corpo celeste ripreso nei due frames NON sia lo stesso.
