SPACE-SATURN-RINGS
This image released 09 December, 2004, by NASA/JPL/Space Science Institute shows a view of Saturn-s outer C ring and the extreme variations in brightness, along with the subtle, large-scale wavy variations discovered 24 years ago by NASA-s Voyager spacecraft. The notably dark Maxwell gap (near upper right) contains the bright, narrow and eccentric Maxwell ringlet, a Saturnian analog of the narrow Uranian epsilon ring. The gap also contains another very faint ringlet newly discovered by Cassini. The image was taken with the Cassini spacecraft narrow angle camera on Oct0ber 29, 2004, at a distance of 838,000kms (521,000 miles) from Saturn. The center of this view shows an area located approximately 81,300kms (50,500 miles) from the planet. NASA/JPL/Space Science Institute
