Shepherds of the Ring

F Ring Shepherds
Cassini took this shot last month, from above the ring plane. We can see both of the F-ring shepherd moons. Prometheus is inside the ring, creating another dark gore in the inner edge. Pandora is outside, at the top. Also, if you look closely at the left edge of the picture, in the Encke gap, you can make out narrow ringlets. Tres cool.

As always, see Cassini's home page for more.
