Two Wheels To Nowhere

wonders-of-the-cosmos:

Saturn and two of its moons, Tethys (above) and Dione, were photographed by Voyager 1 on November 3, 1980, from 13 million kilometers. The shadows of Saturn’s three bright rings and Tethys are cast onto the cloud tops. The limb of the planet can be seen easily through the 3,500-kilometer-wide Cassini Division, which separates ring A from ring B.
