April 9, 2008 Saturn dominates this colorful view, taken from a vantage point high above the rings. From here the Cassini spacecraft can see the rings' far side, where the dark shadow of Saturn abruptly terminates their visibility. Mimas (397 kilometers, or 247 miles across) casts its shadow onto the planet's northern latitudes below center. This view looks toward the unilluminated side of the rings from about 27 degrees above the ringplane.
