Enceladus and Rhea, divided by the Rings

Caption originale:"Rhea and Enceladus hover in the distance beyond Saturn's Ring-Plane. Enceladus (left, 505 Km - about 314 miles - wide), bathed in icy particles from Saturn's E-Ring, appears noticeably brighter than Rhea (right, 1528 Km - about 949 miles - wide).

The image was taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on Feb. 8, 2006, at a distance of approx. 4,3 MKM (such as about 2,7 MMs) from Enceladus and 4,6 MKM (about 2,9 MMs) from Rhea.

The image scale is approx. 26 Km (roughly 16 miles) per pixel on Enceladus and about 28 Km (roughly 17 miles) per pixel on Rhea.
