One quite picturesque arrangement occurred in 2005 and was captured by the then Saturn-orbiting Cassini spacecraft. In the featured image, moons Tethys and Mimas are visible on either side of Saturn&#8217;s thin rings, which are seen nearly edge-on. Across the top of Saturn are dark shadows of the wide rings, exhibiting their impressive complexity. The violet-light image brings up the texture of the backdrop: Saturn&#8217;s clouds. Cassini orbited Saturn from 2004 until September of last year, when the robotic spacecraft was directed to dive into Saturn to keep it from contaminating any moons. via NASA <a href=\"https:\/\/apod.nasa.gov\/apod\/ap180402.html\"><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While cruising around Saturn, be on the lookout for picturesque juxtapositions of moons, rings, and shadows.
