Saturns rings, Cassini image
Saturns rings, Cassini image. The rings consist of particles of nearly pure water ice and meteoric dust and span almost 300, 000 kilometres. The largest gap in the rings is the Cassini Division, which separates the A (outer) and B (inner) rings. The smaller gap within the A ring is the Encke Gap. Pandora, one of Saturns moons, is seen as a minute speck above the A ring at upper left. The Cassini-Huygens spacecraft was launched in 1997 to investigate Saturn, its rings and its moons. This image was taken by Cassinis wide-angle camera on the 13th April 2007 at a distance of 1.8 million kilometres from Saturn

31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 31x27 inches (787x685mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the mesmerizing beauty of Saturn's rings, as seen through the lens of the Cassini spacecraft. The rings, composed of particles made up of water ice and meteoric dust, stretch across an astonishing distance of almost 300,000 kilometers. Amongst this vast expanse, we can observe two significant gaps: the Cassini Division separating the outer A ring from the inner B ring, and within it lies a smaller gap known as the Encke Gap. In this image taken on April 13th, 2007, by Cassini's wide-angle camera at a distance of 1.8 million kilometers from Saturn itself, we are treated to a rare sight. Above the A ring at upper left is Pandora - one of Saturn's moons - appearing as a tiny speck against this cosmic backdrop. The Cassini-Huygens spacecraft embarked on its mission in 1997 with a specific goal to explore and study Saturn along with its magnificent rings and intriguing moons like Pandora. This photograph serves as a testament to humanity's insatiable curiosity about our solar system and beyond. As we gaze upon this awe-inspiring image captured by Science Photo Library's talented team, we are reminded once again that there is so much more to discover in our vast universe – mysteries waiting to be unraveled and wonders awaiting exploration.
