Look at these two WideField images taken on Aug,02:
9879
9878
It seems that a bright starlike object traversed the space between Saturn and rings! Due to trajectory, satellite hypothesis is very unlikely and now I'm almost sure it's a planet...
Looking carefully to illumination, the visible part of Saturn is the darkside and rings are illuminated from below/behind. In fact, on Aug,02 Saturn eclipsed the Sun (as seen from Cassini) as showed by these Solar System simulator grabs:


First sequence show the Mars transit toward East limb, while second sequence refers to the Venus exit from opposite side.
Initially I believed object is so bright that must be Venus or even Earth
However, after some considerations, most likehood conclusion is that Cassini pictured , while the remaining inner solar system components were hidden from Saturn...
Do someone can inform MER/MGS guys about the new imagery?
