Saturnian Shadows
|
Caption NASA:"The Cassini spacecraft looks across Saturn's cloud-dotted North and shadowed Pole, and out across the lanes of ice that compose its Rings.
Prometheus is visible between the A and F-Rings near the center of the image.
This view looks toward the unilluminated side of the Rings from about 42° above the Ring-Plane. The Planet's shadow stretches toward the lower right corner.
The image was taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft wide-angle camera on April 1, 2007 at a distance of approx. 2 MKM (about 1,2 MMs) from Saturn.
Image scale is roughly 119 Km (about 74 miles) per pixel".
