The sky on
your birthday.
Dione, Rings, Shadows, Saturn
Saturn's moon Dione is captured here in a dramatic panorama by the Cassini spacecraft. The moon, about 1100 kilometers across, shows the multi-ringed crater Evander on the lower right. Saturn's rings appear as a thin horizontal line, seen nearly edge-on, passing behind Dione. Shadows arc across the moon from the rings.
