Bold Saturn

Saturn's atmosphere is prominently shown with the rings emerging from behind the planet at upper right. The two moons on the left of the image are Mimas and Enceladus.

This image was taken on 8 August 2004, with the NASA/ESA/ASI Cassini-Huygens spacecraft narrow-angle camera in red, green and blue filters. This image was taken 8.5 million kilometres from Saturn. Contrast has been enhanced to aid visibility.
