COSMIC MESSAGE
Saturn's moons, like Titan and Dione, have a constant view of the gas giant and its rings. The Cassini spacecraft, while orbiting Saturn, shares this perspective. The rings cut across the middle of this image, casting arcing shadows across the planet's cloud tops. Titan is Saturn's largest moon, and Dione is its third largest.
