SPACE-SATURN-MOON
Saturn's shadow interrupts the planet's rings, leaving just thin slivers of the rings visible in this image released by NASA December 25, 2009, which shows a pair of the planet's small moons. Most of the main rings are darkened by the shadow of the planet, which stretches across the center of the image, but the thin F ring can be seen extending across more of the image. Helene (33 kilometers, or 21 miles across) is in the center top of the image. Epimetheus (113 kilometers, or 70 miles across) is in the lower right. The image was taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on Nov. 7, 2009. AFP PHOTO/HO/NASA/JPL/Space Science Institute
