About this image
With giant Saturn hanging in the blackness and sheltering Cassini from the sun's blinding glare, the spacecraft viewed the rings as never before, revealing previously unknown faint rings and even glimpsing its home world.
This marvelous panoramic view was created by combining a total of 165 images taken by the Cassini wide-angle camera over nearly three hours on Sept. 15, 2006. The full mosaic consists of three rows of nine wide-angle camera footprints; only a portion of the full mosaic is shown here. Color in the view was created by digitally compositing ultraviolet, infrared and clear filter images and was then adjusted to resemble natural color.
The mosaic images were acquired as the spacecraft drifted in the darkness of Saturn's shadow for about 12 hours, allowing a multitude of unique observations of the microscopic particles that compose Saturn's faint rings.
Ring structures containing these tiny particles brighten substantially at high phase angles: i.e., viewing angles where the sun is almost directly behind the objects being imaged.

Beautiful picture!
I ordered the materials for my project here, and everything went smoothly. Very professional. Good prices and better materials. ✅👏🏼
We purchased two wonderful photos from Adam. One a framed black and white of The Bean in Chicago. And, the other of an iconic road in Door County on metal. The process was painless and Adam checked in with us to make sure everything was going well. We will be looking at his work in the future for both the quality of his craftmanship and the professional way he handled the purchase and shipping of our purchase.
