Thought this was beautiful coming down from the spacecraft this morning. The data was captured November 4, 2009 from 1.2 million kilometers. Anyone know which moon is at the right?

It's Rhea transiting and Tethys' shadow, apparently.

False color view of same observation set processed to bring out atmospheric details:
RGB[CB2 IRP90, MT2 IRP90, CL1 VIO] + a high-pass overlay of the MT2 IRP90 (storm clouds) image. Cute tempest in N high latitudes. -Mike -------------------- Some higher resolution images available at my photostream: http://www.flickr.com/photos/31678681@N07/

New and improved* Methan-O-Vision of Saturn weighting heavily the Methane transmission filtered image.
