Saturn's Rings - Voyager 1
Computer composite of 4 images of Saturn's rings
False-color computer composite of 4 images of Saturn's rings
taken by Voyager 1. The images were taken from 40 million km
on 13 October 1980, 30 days before closest approach. The
images were combined so as to enhance color variation between
the rings. Shown here are (from inside to outside) the C-ring,
B-ring, A-ring, and a small arc-shaped part of the F-ring at
upper right. The distance across these rings is about 65,000 km.
The satellite Mimas is just above the middle right of the image.
North is at 11:00.
