Saturn-PIA08982.jpgIn the Night...66 visiteCaption NASA:"Graceful giant Saturn poses with a few of the small Worlds it holds close. From this viewpoint the Cassini Spacecraft can see across the entirety of the Planet's shadow on the Rings, to where the Ring-Plane emerges once again into Sunlight.
Tethys shines large and bright near the bottom of the scene. Pandora sits outside the F-Ring, below center. Epimetheus is a speck on the far side of the Ring-Plane, immediately to the right of Saturn's limb. Most of the other bright specks near the Rings are background stars.
This view looks toward the unilluminated side of the Rings from about 8° above the Ring-Plane. The image has been brightened to enhance the appearance of the small moons.
The image was taken with the Cassini spacecraft wide-angle camera on June 2, 2007 using a spectral filter sensitive to wavelengths of infrared light centered at 918 nanometers.
The view was obtained at a distance of approx. 2,2 MKM (such as about 1,4 MMs) from Saturn.
Image scale is roughly 131 Km (about miles) per pixel".MareKromium

Rhea-PIA08986.jpgRhea, in the Saturnshine (natural colors - elab. Lunexit)66 visiteCaption NASA:"The night side of Rhea shines softly in reflected light from Saturn. A similar effect, called Earthshine, can often be seen dimly illuminating the dark side Earth's Moon.
Background stars make short, dim trails across the black sky. The sunlit terrain on Rhea is so much brighter than the part lit by Saturn that the former is completely overexposed in this view, which took more than 30" to acquire.
This view looks toward the Leading Hemisphere on Rhea. North is up and rotated 28° to the left.
The image was taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on June 11, 2007. The view was obtained at a distance of approx. 364.000 Km (such as about 226.000 miles) from Rhea and at a Sun-Rhea-spacecraft, or phase, angle of 154°. Image scale is roughly 4 Km (about 3 miles) per pixel".MareKromium

Tethys-PIA09915-0.jpgTethys (MULTISPECTRUM-2; credits: Lunexit)66 visiteCaption NASA:"From a highly inclined orbit, the Cassini Spacecraft looks toward far Northern Latitudes on Tethys.
Here, the spacecraft was above a position about 45° North of the moon's Equator.
This vantage point afforded a view of the moon's three most recognizable features: the Ithaca Chasma Canyon System (at lower right), Odysseus Crater (at upper left) and the Equatorial Band of Darker Terrain (at lower left).
Lit terrain seen here is on the Leading Hemisphere of Tethys (1062 Km, or approx. 660 miles across). North is up.
The image was taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on April 29, 2008. The view was obtained at a distance of approx. 991.000 Km (such as about 616.000 miles) from Tethys and at Phase Angle of 73°.
Image scale is roughly 6 Km (about 4 miles) per pixel".MareKromium

Rhea-N00118979.jpgRhea's Eclipse66 visiteCaption NASA:"N00118981.jpg was taken on August 19, 2008 and received on Earth August 21, 2008. The camera was pointing toward RHEA that, at the time, was approx. 456.744 Km away; the image was taken using the CL1 and CL2 filters. This image has not been validated or calibrated".MareKromium

The_Rings-N00124204.jpgAnother UFO in the Space of Saturn?66 visiteCaption NASA:"N00124204.jpg was taken on November 16, 2008 and received on Earth November 17, 2008. The camera was pointing toward SATURN-RINGS that, at the time, were approx. 383.855 Km away, and the image was taken using the CL1 and CL2 filters. This image has not been validated or calibrated".
