Like Neon-Lights...

Caption originale:"The dark side of the Ring-Plane glows with scattered light, including the luminous F-Ring, which shines like a rope of brilliant neon.
Below, Dione (1.126 Km, or 700 miles across) presents an exquisitely thin crescent.
The image was taken using a spectral filter sensitive to wavelengths of infrared light centered at 930 nanometers and it was acquired with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on May 3, 2006 at a distance of approx. 1,8 MKM (about 1,1 MMs) from Dione and at a phase angle of 160°. Image scale is roughly 11 Km (about 7 miles) per pixel".
