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.

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).

Rings: (rings_wide.jpg) wide
angle black and white. S Rings. taken by Voyager 2 on 08-29-1981.
