Rings and Moons

Saturn is a complex place. This shot gives us a glimspse of it - the planet, the rings (fine enough that the planet can be seen through it), Saturn's shadow cutting across the whole thing, and four of the moons: (from lower left) Mimas and Janus, and up toward center right and close together little Pandora and Prometheus. Pandora and Prometheus are F ring shepherds, and the narrow, ribbon-like ring is between them.
