At the top of the mosaicked view is the A ring with its broader Encke and narrower Keeler gaps visible. At the bottom is the F ring, bright due to the viewing geometry. The point of light between the rings is Earth, 1.4 billion kilometers in the distance. Look carefully and you can even spot Earth&#8217;s large moon, a pinprick of light to the planet&#8217;s left. Today Cassini makes its final close approach to Saturn&#8217;s own large moon Titan, using Titan&#8217;s gravity to swing into the spacecraft&#8217;s Grand Finale, the final set of orbits that will bring Cassini just inside Saturn&#8217;s rings. via NASA <a href=\"http:\/\/ift.tt\/2p31Pk2\"><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On April 12, as the Sun was blocked by the disk of Saturn the Cassini spacecraft camera looked toward the inner Solar System and the gas giant&#8217;s backlit rings.
