US-SPACE-SATURN-RINGS
This NASA handout image released 14 November 2006 shows the A and F rings of Saturn that are alive with moving structures in this Cassini spacecraft view. Graceful drapes of ring material created by Prometheus are seen sliding by at left, while clumpy ringlets slip through the Encke Gap. Prometheus (102 kilometers, or 63 miles across) is all but invisible to the right of the lowest streamer seen here. This view looks toward the unlit side of the rings from about 12 degrees above the ringplane. The image was taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on 07 October, 2006 at a distance of approximately 1.9 million kilometers (1.2 million miles) from Saturn and at a Sun-Saturn-spacecraft, or phase, angle of 163 degrees. Image scale is 11 kilometers (7 miles) per pixel. AFP PHOTO/NASA/JLP/SPACE SCIENCE INSTITUTE/HO =GETTY OUT=
