Rings on a Diagonal
A pair of Saturn’s small satellites, Janus and Pandora, accompany the planet’s rings in this Cassini spacecraft image presenting the view in dramatic diagonal fashion.
The rings are between the two moons. Janus, just above the center of the image, is most distant here. This view looks toward the leading hemisphere of Pandora (81 kilometers, or 50 miles across) and the trailing hemisphere of Janus (179 kilometers, or 111 miles across). This view looks toward the northern, sunlit side of the rings from just above the ringplane.
