Summary

[edit]
Description

Calibrated true-color image of Saturn's rings setting behind a crescent Saturn, imaged by Cassini's narrow-angle camera on July 16, 2017. A close look at the image reveals a slight bend in the rings where they meet Saturn's atmosphere. This effect is due to refraction of light through Saturn's dense atmosphere. Cassini was at a distance of 1.22 million km from Saturn.

This image uses color data taken through the spacecraft's RED, GRN, and BL1 filters.
