Saturn's crater-scarred moon Rhea floats in the distance, peeking out from behind the giant planet's partly shadowed rings. This view looks upward from just beneath the ring plane. The far side of the rings is masked by Saturn's shadow. The north pole of Rhea is obscured by part of the A ring and the sharply defined F ring.
A few bright wispy markings curl around the eastern limb of Rhea (1,528 kilometers, or 949 miles across).
NASA's Cassini spacecraft took the image in visible light on Feb. 22 with its narrow-angle camera at a distance of approximately 2.2 million kilometers (1.4 million miles) from Rhea. The image scale is 13 kilometers (8 miles) per pixel on Rhea.
