APOD: Saturn's Rings and Moon
Cassini revealed a cool snapshot of Saturn's rings and the small moon, Enceladus. Rings are seen edge-on and in Saturn's shadow. The A ring is closest to the moon. The large Cassini gap, really small because its sideways, is in between the gray A and the B rings. The darker C ring has the Titan gap and a smaller unnamed gap. Enceladus was 1 million km away from Cassini, and is 500 km across. It is an icy planet with craters, smooth planes, and rivers.
