It difficult to get a sense of scale when viewing Saturn rings, but the Cassini Division seen here between the bright B ring and dimmer A ring is almost as wide as the planet Mercury as seen by NASA Cassini spacecraft.

Saturn B ring is spread out in all its glory in this image from NASAS Cassini spacecraft. Scientists are trying to better understand the origin and nature of the various structures seen in the B ring.
Ver en NASA ↗Lakes on Saturn moon Titan reflect radio waves in varying ways in this image from NASA Cassini spacecraft. If a lake is fully liquid, it looks dark, but if it is only partially liquid, it looks brighter.
Ver en NASA ↗Cassini powerful radar eyes have uncovered a geologic goldmine in a region called Xanadu on Saturn moon Titan. Panning west to east, the geologic features include river channels, mountains and hills, a crater and possible lakes
Ver en NASA ↗This image shows clouds in the mid-southern latitudes of Saturn largest moon, Titan, one of a series of images captured by NASA Cassini spacecraft a few months after fall began in the southern hemisphere.
Ver en NASA ↗NASA Cassini orbiter has revealed the possible presence of a ring of debris surrounding the ancient heavily cratered surface of Rhea, Saturn second largest moon. The bluish material in this image is believed to be fresh ice.
Ver en NASA ↗Part of the shadow of Saturn moon Epimetheus appears as if it has been woven through the planet rings in this image taken about a month and a half before the planet August 2009 equinox by NASA Cassini spacecraft.
Ver en NASA ↗A single jet feature appears to leap from the F ring of Saturn in this image from NASA Cassini spacecraft. A closer inspection suggests that in reality there are a few smaller jets that make up this feature.
Ver en NASA ↗A masterpiece of deep time and wrenching gravity, the tortured surface of Saturn moon Enceladus and its fascinating ongoing geologic activity tell the story of the ancient and present struggles of one tiny world.
Ver en NASA ↗The rich dynamics of Saturn F ring are seen in this image taken by NASA Cassini spacecraft. Most of the features are believed to be due to the ring interactions with its shepherd moons or with small moonlets embedded within the ring itself.
Ver en NASA ↗Several structures in Saturn A ring are exposed near the Encke Gap in this image captured by NASA Cassini spacecraft. A peculiar kink can be seen in one particularly bright ringlet at the bottom right.
Ver en NASA ↗NASA Cassini spacecraft spies two types of waves in Saturn A ring: a spiral density wave on the left of the image and a more pronounced spiral bending wave near the middle.
Ver en NASA ↗An unusually large propeller feature is detected just beyond the Encke Gap in this Cassini image of Saturn’s outer A ring taken a couple days after the planet’s August 2009 equinox.
Ver en NASA ↗NASA Cassini spacecraft captures Saturn ever-changing F ring, showing its bright core, another strand of ring material, and a breakaway clump of material close to the core.
Ver en NASA ↗Vertical structures in the variable outer edge of Saturn B ring cast shadows in these two images captured by NASA Cassini spacecraft shortly after the planet August 2009 northern vernal equinox.
Ver en NASA ↗Saturn rings appear curved in this view from NASA Cassini spacecraft, which also shows the moon Janus in the distance. Janus is at the bottom of the image and is farther from the spacecraft than the rings are.
Ver en NASA ↗The recently formed south polar vortex stands out in the color-swaddled atmosphere of Saturn largest moon, Titan, in this natural color view from NASA Cassini spacecraft.
Ver en NASA ↗From a distant perspective, NASA Cassini spacecraft sees hints of the unusual surface of Saturn moon Enceladus, a moon where new terrain is created around a geologically active south polar region.
Ver en NASA ↗NASA Cassini spacecraft captured this view of Saturn moon Epimetheus 116 kilometers, or 72 miles across during a moderately close flyby on Dec. 6, 2015. This is one of Cassini highest resolution views of the small moon.
Ver en NASA ↗Cassini finds artistic harmony in the dark and icy realm of Saturn. The dim, unlit side of the rings is shown here. The narrow F ring appears bright when seen from angles near the plane of the rings
Ver en NASA ↗Saturn small, ring-embedded moon Pan, on the extreme right of this NASA Cassini spacecraft image, can be seen interacting with the ringlets that share the Encke Gap of the A ring with this moon.
Ver en NASA ↗NASA Cassini spacecraft looks across the surface of Saturn moon Dione and details the wispy terrain first chronicled by Voyager. This fractured terrain covers the trailing hemisphere of Dione.
Ver en NASA ↗The diminutive moon Mimas can be found hiding in the middle of this view of a crescent of Saturn bisected by rings in this image captured by NASA Cassini spacecraft. Mimas appears as a dark speck just about the ringplane near the center of the image. Th
Ver en NASA ↗This image shows the visual and infrared mapping spectrometer instrument just before it was attached to NASA Cassini spacecraft. Cassini launched in 1997 and has been exploring the Saturn system since 2004.
