User / Val Klavans / Saturn ring shadows and Enceladus
Val Klavans / 155 items
This is an approximate true color view of Saturn. Shadows of Saturn’s rings are cast upon the planet (below the rings to the lower right). Saturn’s icy moon Enceladus also appears to the lower right of this image.

This composite is made of images that were taken by Cassini's camera system, the Imaging Science Subsystem (ISS) on March 7, 2015 and received on Earth March 9, 2015. The camera was pointing toward UNK (Saturn's moon Unk must have been behind Saturn at the time these images were taken), and the images were taken using the blue, methane band, and continuum band filters.
