What looks like a pair of Saturnian #satellites is actually a trio upon close inspection. Here, #Cassini has captured #enceladus above the rings and #rhea below. The comparatively tiny speck of #Atlas can also be seen just above and to the left of Rhea, and just above the thin line of Saturn’s F ring.This view looks toward the unilluminated side of the rings from about 0.34 degrees below the ring plane.The image was taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on #September 24, 2015.
