Lots of stunning new images from Casini pouring in, this one in particular caught my eye. At first I thought the object near the ring could have been an artefact/cosmic ray etc, but it appear to be attached to the rings by a faint straind of material, very strange indeed - the moon Prometheus or Pandora? I vaguely remember the science team talking about a similar phenomena observed in images returned during the July orbit insertion.

heres a shot from the wide angle camera, you can just make out a smal spot in the same location in the F Ring.
