Rings and Moons

This view across the main ring plane (D C B A and F rings) shows four of Saturn's moons:
Enceladus (505 kilometers, or 314 miles across) is visible at top. At bottom, in increasing distance from the rings are Pandora (84 kilometers, or 52 miles across), Janus (181 kilometers, or 113 miles across) and Mimas (397 kilometers, or 247 miles across).
You'll probably need to select the image to see Pandora; it's tiny.

And (as always) see the Cassini page for details.
