Description
Saturn. Two images of the planet Saturn with its rings and several moons. In the upper frame Saturn is seen with its ring edge-on and nearly invisible; the dark band on Saturn is the ring's shadow. Saturn's largest moon Titan (at left) is also forming a shadow on the planet. Four smaller moons are clustered at right; from left to right they are Mimas, Tethys, Janus and Enceladus. In the lower frame is Saturn with its rings tilted. Just outside the main ring is the thin, faint F- ring which is normally invisible from Earth. The moons Tethys (at left) and Dione (at right) also appear. Image taken by the Hubble Space Telescope.
