In this view, Saturn's largest moon Titan, is casting a shadow on Saturn. Titan's atmosphere is a dark brown haze, while the other moons appear white because of their bright icy surfaces. The 4 moons from left to right, Mimas, Tethys, Janus and Enceladus are clustered around the edge of Saturn's ring on the right. Prometheus on the other right edge, Pandora on the left. The bottom of this photograph shows Saturn with its rings slightly tilted. The moon called Dione is on the lower right. The moon at the upper left of Saturn is Tethys.
