Rhea and Enceladus in Saturnshine

At any rate, here's another unearthly shot (yes, I know, of course it's unearthly, it's Saturn). In this one, "two frigid moons, Rhea and Enceladus, shine in reflected light from Saturn. In such low light and at great distance, Rhea's cratered surface looks deceptively smooth. Light from the distant Sun creates the bright crescent on each moon and scatters off the icy spray above the south pole of Enceladus. " [JPL] (The lighter band across the center is the E ring...)
