ASTRO Images of Saturn (1) - Spotting the Shepherd Moon
Images of Saturn (1) - Spotting the Shepherd Moon
Across the darkened expanse of Saturn's rings, the Cassini spacecraft spies one of the F-ring shepherd moons. Pandora (84 kilometers, or 52 miles across) orbits Saturn just beyond the outer edges of the F ring. Close to the planet, the image of the rings is slightly distorted by Saturn's upper atmosphere. http://www.martin-nicholson.info/saturn/saturn1.htm Martin Nicholson, Daventry, England. http://www.martin-nicholson.info/1/1a.htm Visit the Astronomical Hall of Shame at http://www.geocities.com/queen5658/ |
