With giant Saturn hanging in the blackness and
sheltering Cassini from the sun's blinding glare,
the spacecraft viewed the rings as never before,
revealing previously unknown faint rings and even
glimpsing its home world. This marvelous
panoramic view was created by combining a total
of 165 images taken by the Cassini. Credit
