Pasadena CA (SPX) Mar 21, 2006 NASA's Cassini spacecraft transmitted this image from just beneath Saturn's ringplane on Feb. 12. The perspective gives the rings a pointed appearance and captures a few clumps at the edge of the narrow F ring. The moon Tethys, 1,071 kilometers (665 miles) across, floats peacefully in the distance. Cassini took the image in visible light with its narrow-angle camera at a distance of approximately 4.1 million kilometers (2.6 million miles) from Tethys, and the image scale on Tethys is 25 kilometers (16 miles) per pixel.
