The_Rings-PIA12518.jpgWithin the Rings (Natural Colors; credits: NASA/JPL/Space Science Institute)59 visiteCaption NASA:"Saturn's moon Epimetheus casts a shadow across the colourful Rings of Saturn, in this image taken before the Planet's August 2009 Equinox.
Epimetheus (approx. 113 Km, or about 70 miles across) is visible as a small dot at the center of the bottom of the image.

The novel illumination geometry that accompanies Equinox lowers the Sun's angle to the Ring-Plane, significantly darkens the Rings, and causes out-of-plane structures to look anomalously bright and cast shadows across the Rings. These scenes are possible only during the few months before and after Saturn's Equinox, which occurs only once in about 15 Earth years. Before and after Equinox, Cassini's cameras have spotted not only the predictable shadows of some of Saturn's moons (see PIA11657), but also the shadows of newly revealed Vertical Structures in the Rings themselves (see PIA11665).

Images taken using red, green and blue spectral filters were combined to create this Natural Color view. This view looks toward the southern, sunlit side of the Rings from about 39° below the Ring-Plane.
The images were obtained with the Cassini Spacecraft wide-angle camera on June 8, 2009 at a distance of approx. 725.000 Km (about 450.000 miles) from Saturn.
Image scale is roughly 40 Km (about 25 miles) per pixel".4 commentiMareKromium01/13/10 at 15:35Ufologo: Ed io, personalmente, ti ringrazio per la tua bell...

Grandissimi Complimenti ad Elisabetta Bonora!

Technical Data: from N00148200 up to N00148229 ---> frames taken between 16:00 and 16:35 UTC; from this data we can derive that the average time-lap existing between each exposure was about 1' and 10" (in other words, the captioned pictures were taken about every 70" from each other). During that period of time the speed of the CASSINI Probe varied from 10,23 Km-per-sec up to 10,42 Km-per-sec.4 commentiMareKromium12/14/09 at 17:59Ufologo: Grazie a te Elisabetta (che sei venuta subito a .....
