Nice shot of Rhea against Saturn taken on May 8 2010:

Stu, I too love that image - in fact I think it's the most spectacular single ISS frame Cassini has obtained - and I enjoyed your poem. However a couple of lines surprised me, the ones about there being no sign of the plumes. On my monitor I can see the brightest parts of two of the plumes, centre and left, in that image. They're faint, but they're there, and for me that is the icing on the cake as far as this image is concerned. It's a bit like the Earth and Moon in that iconic backlit Saturn mosaic or Phoenix under its parachute from HiRise - so nearly invisible that you really have to look carefully and yet there they are, almost against the odds. Wonderful.
