 Cassini caught this image Feb. 8 of Rhea and Enceladus hover in the distance beyond Saturn's ringplane. Enceladus (left), bathed in icy particles from Saturn's E ring, appears noticeably brighter than Rhea. Rhea is 1,528 kilometers (949 miles) wide. Enceladus is 505 kilometers (314 miles) wide.

The image was taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera at a distance of approximately 4.3 million kilometers (2.7 million miles) from Enceladus and 4.6 million kilometers (2.9 million miles) from Rhea. The image scale is 26 kilometers (16 miles) per pixel on Enceladus and 28 kilometers (17 miles) per pixel on Rhea.
