Three moons at once

Three moons are caught by Cassini's camera with the thin edge-on line of the rings between them. That's Tethys, the big one with its huge crater; Epimetheus above the rings and Pandora below, both much smaller (72 and 52 miles - 116 and 84 km) than the 665 / 1071 wide Tethys.

See the Cassini page for more details.
