scenes from Saturn
"N00060560.jpg was taken on May 04, 2006, and received on Earth on May 05, 2006. The camera was pointing toward ENCELADUS at approximately 2,108,298 kilometers away."
"More stunning views of Saturn's moons have been captured by the Cassini spacecraft, following its latest flyby of the ringed planet.
"The orbiter's narrow-angle camera captured a stunning image on 21 March of the tiny moon Janus in front of Saturn's rings, with planet-sized Titan behind them. The picture was taken when the heavily cratered Janus was about 724,500 kilometres from the probe. The moon, with its 194-kilometre diameter, is dwarfed by distant Titan, at 5150 kilometres wide."
"The three very different moons seen here provide targets of great interest for planetary scientists studying the Saturn system. Captured here by Cassini, along with the rings, are Tethys at upper right, Enceladus below center, and Janus at lower left."
