Two views of Saturn
Saturn. Two images of the planet Saturn with its rings and several moons. In the upper frame Saturn is seen with its ring edge-on and nearly invisible; the dark band on Saturn is the rings shadow. Saturns largest moon Titan (at left) is also forming a shadow on the planet. Four smaller moons are clustered at right; from left to right they are: Mimas, Tethys, Janus and Enceladus. In the lower frame is Saturn with its rings tilted. Just outside the main ring is the thin, faint F- ring which is normally invisible from Earth. The moons Tethys (at left) and Dione (at right) also appear. Image taken by the Hubble Space Telescope

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases two breathtaking views of the majestic planet Saturn. In the upper frame, we witness a mesmerizing sight as Saturn's rings appear almost invisible when viewed edge-on. The dark band cast on the planet represents the shadow of these magnificent rings. Adding to this celestial spectacle, Saturn's largest moon Titan gracefully casts its own shadow upon the gas giant. To the right side of this cosmic dance, four smaller moons named Mimas, Tethys, Janus, and Enceladus cluster together in perfect harmony. In contrast, the lower frame presents us with a different perspective as Saturn proudly displays its tilted rings. Just beyond its main ring lies an ethereal surprise - the thin and faint F-ring that is typically unseen from Earth's vantage point. Accompanying this enchanting scene are two more moons: Tethys positioned on the left and Dione elegantly gracing Saturn's presence on the right. Captured by none other than Hubble Space Telescope (HST), this extraordinary montage allows us to marvel at both sides of Saturn's grandeur - from its elusive edge-on rings to its strikingly inclined beauty. This image serves as a testament to mankind's insatiable curiosity about our vast universe and reminds us of our place within it – mere spectators in awe of nature’s celestial wonders.
