Saturn crossing the sun: Courtesy of NASA/JPL. The 120 second exposure with 0.8 arcsecond seeing was taken in the 890 nm methane band using a narrow filter (5.0 nm FWHM). The exposure was begun at about 4:06 Universal Time (UT) on November 22 (9:06 p.m. MST, November 21). A central mask about 25 arcseconds wide is used to reduce the scattered light from the disk of Saturn. North is to the top, and East is to the left. The Sun is on the opposite side of the rings from the Earth, and so the rings are a `negative' image of their usual appearance. The C Ring and Cassini's Division are bright while the A and B Rings are dark. This image clearly shows the small Saturnian moons Epimetheus (top of the East ansa, moving East), Prometheus (bottom of the East ansa, moving West), and Janus (bottom of the West ansa, moving West). This image confirms the suggestion from HST observations that Prometheus is about 30 minutes behind the position predicted on the basis of the pre-1995 ephemeris. At the Kitt Peak Observatory.  http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/saturn/nov_images.html 

Saturn with Tethys and Dione: (sat_tethys_dione.jpg) or (PIA00024.jpg). Saturn and two of its moons, Tethys (above) and Dione, were photographed by Voyager 1 on November 3, 1980, from 13 million kilometers (8 million miles). Taken by the Voyager 1. Courtesy of JPL/CalTech/NASA.

Rings: (rings_wide.jpg) wide angle black and white. S Rings. taken by Voyager 2 on 08-29-1981. NASA ID: PIA00534. Courtesy of JPL/CalTech/NASA.
