Caption NASA:"A pastel crescent of Saturn is interrupted by the moon Mimas and the Rings in this color image.
Mimas (approx. 396 Km - or about 246 miles across) appears as a dark speck just above the Rings.
This view looks toward the Northern, sunlit side of the Rings, from just above the Ring-Plane.
Images taken using red, green and blue spectral filters were combined to create this Natural Color view. The images were obtained with the Cassini Spacecraft wide-angle camera on Oct. 27, 2009 at a distance of approx. 2,2 MKM (such as about 1,4 MMs) from Saturn.
Image scale is roughly 129 Km (approx. 80 miles) per pixel".
