Study in Black & White & Gray

Enceladus and Dione
Enceladus - the most reflective object in the solar system - passes in front of its larger, dimmer sibling Dione (which reflects a mere 70% of the light that hits it). The picture was taken in July at a distance of approximately 1.9 million kilometers (1.2 million miles) from Enceladus and 2.2 million kilometers (1.3 million miles) from Dione. Check the Cassini-Huygens site for details.
