Ring scientists have been waiting for this. Finally, after more than two years orbiting Saturn, the Cassini spacecraft reaches one of the ultimate vantage points. The rings should shine with majesty worthy of the "Jewel of the Solar System." |

New high-res ring images down. This one is particularly interesting; there's an apparent spoke area about midway left & down of center, plus some pronounced kinks in some of the subrings...finally some subscale moonlet evidence?
