Two Moons

Enceladus and Mimas And speaking of Cassini without cameras - check out this beauty. Saturn, its clouds and rings, shadows, and two moons - look above the shadow a little more than half-way from the planet's edge to the right side of the photo and you'll see Enceladus against the bright clouds; look under the rings to the left and there's Mimas against the dark (you may have to select the photo to enlarge it).

Check on the Cassini-Huygens site for details on this picture.

Where's Tethys - other side of Saturn or too small to see?

Must be on the other side - it's more than twice as big as Mimas, after all.
