Saturn in Blue and Gold
Saturn in blue and gold, as seen by the Cassini spacecraft in 2006. The rings are only visible as a thin line, but their shadows on the planet reveal their structure. The small moon Enceladus, about 500 kilometers across, appears as a bump in the ring plane. This view approximates what a human would see if hovering close to the giant ringed world.
