Well spotted. This appears to be the science plan entry.
Cheap'n'cheesy animated GIF here (at 1.04MB, probably a little big to upload). Towards the end you can also see a moon against the rings/disc which Saturn Viewer (indeed nifty; cheers, elakdawalla) identifies as Pandora. There also appears to be something tiny skirting along the bottom of the rings (the left in the original frames) which Saturn Viewer didn't identify, even with the maximum number of moons enabled[*]. It can be seen in many frames around the time Epimetheus transits Dione. [*] These being: Mimas, Enceladus, Tethys, Dione, Rhea, Titan, Hyperion, Iapetus, Phoebe, Janus & Epimetheus, Helene, Telesto, Calypso, Prometheus, Pandora, Atlas, and Pan. |
