Nasa, 02/01/2007.- Magnificent blue and gold Saturn floats obliquely in this NASA hnadout image releasesd Thursday as one of its gravity-bound companions, Dione, hangs in the distance. The darkened rings seem to nearly touch their shadowy reverse images on the planet below.This view looks toward the unlit side of the rings from about 9 degrees above the ringplane. The rings glow feebly in the scattered light that filters through them. Dione is 700 miles across. The image was taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft wide-angle camera on 04 February, 2007 at a distance of approximately 800,000 miles from Saturn. The Cassini-Huygens mission is a cooperative project of NASA, the European Space Agency and the Italian Space Agency. (AP/Getty/The Seattle Times)
