Saturn-PIA12513.jpgCrescent Saturn (Natural Colors; credits: NASA/JPL/Space Science Institute)54 visiteCaption NASA:"Saturn, stately and resplendent in this Natural Color view, dwarfs the icy moon Rhea.
Rhea orbits beyond the Rings on the right of the image. The moon Tethys is not shown here, but its shadow is visible on the Planet on the left of the image. 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 Nov. 4, 2009 at a distance of approx. 1,3 MKM (about 808.000 miles) from Saturn.
Image scale is roughly 72 Km (about 45 miles) per pixel".MareKromium

The_Rings-PIA12512.jpgThe "E-Ring"54 visiteCaption NASA:"The Cassini Spacecraft takes a look at Saturn's diffuse E-Ring which is formed from icy material spewing out of the South Pole of the moon Enceladus (see PIA08921 to learn more about how Enceladus creates the E-Ring). The E-Ring is seen nearly edge-on from slightly above the Northern Side of Saturn's Ring-Plane.
The image was taken in Visible Light with the Cassini Spacecraft wide-angle camera on Oct. 23, 2009. The view was acquired at a distance of approx. 2,5 MKM (such as about 1,6 MMs) from Saturn.
Image scale is roughly 149 Km (approx. 92 miles) per pixel".MareKromium
