Saturn and its rings, backlit Cassini image
Saturn and its rings, backlit Cassini image. The planet and its rings are backlit by the Sun, which is behind the planet in this view. This angle allows the study of features of the rings and atmosphere that are not visible in other views. Earth is the pale blue dot just above centre left, near the bright main rings. This view, taken from a distance of around 2.2 million kilometres, was obtained on 15 September 2006, with the wide-angle camera of Cassini's Imaging Science Subsystem (ISS). Saturn is a gas giant planet with an average radius about nine times that of Earth and a volume of over 800 Earths. Its large ring system consists of thousands of chunks of rock and ice. The Cassini spacecraft surveyed the Saturnian system from 2004 to 2017.
