Titan Beyond the Rings
Saturn's hazy moon Titan appears to drift above Saturn's ringplane in this view taken only a tenth of a degree above the rings. Titan's small orbital inclination is enough to make it appear above the ringplanefrom this viewing angle. Titan is 5,150 kilometers (3,200 miles) across.The Sun is below the rings in this image, so light that makes it to Cassini is that which has been diffusely transmitted through the rings. Thus, the densest parts of te rings appear dark in this image, and the dusty gaps in the rings, such as the Cassini Division, appear bright.
