Setting Your Sights on Saturn
Saturn's nearly edge-on rings are caught between two moons. The edge of the F ring has a blurred appearance with bright Dione (700 miles across) as a backdrop. Oblong Pandora (52 miles across) transits Dione and heads off toward right. This view looks toward the unilluminated side of the rings from less than a degree above the ringplane.The image was taken in visible green light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera July 24, 2007. The view was acquired at a distance of approximately 1.4 million miles from Dione at an image scale of about 8 miles per pixel. (NASA/JPL/Space Science Institute)
