Seeing Through Saturn's C-Ring
Cassini confirmed that Saturn's rings have varying transparency. This image shows Saturn's A, B, and C rings. While the B-ring is opaque, the C-ring is translucent, allowing Saturn's cloud tops to be seen through it. This transparency suggests a lower density of particles in the C-ring.
