Cassini skims past Saturn's ringplane at a low angle, spotting two ring moons on the far side. Pan (28 kilometers, 17 miles across) sits within the Encke Gap right of center. Beyond the F ring hovers Pandora (81 kilometers, 50 miles across). This view looks toward the unilluminated side of the rings from less than a degree above the ringplane. The image was taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on June 14, 2007 at a distance of approximately 1.6 million kilometers (1 million miles) from Saturn. Image scale is about 10 kilometers (6 miles) per pixel.
