Daphnis and the Rings of Saturn
The moon Daphnis, just 8 kilometers across, creates waves in the Keeler Gap of Saturn's rings. Its gravity causes the ring particles to ripple as it bobs in and out of the ring plane. The Cassini spacecraft captured this wide-field image during one of its Grand Finale orbits.
