Bright sunlight on Rhea shows off the cratered surface of Saturn's second largest moon. - Atmospheric Distortion (Released 4 November 2009)
The Cassini spacecraft looks past the night side of Saturn, dimly lit on the left of this image by ringshine, for a subtly distorted view of the planet's rings. - Pitted Hyperion (Released 5 November 2009)
The Cassini spacecraft peers at the pitted surface of the small and irregularly-shaped moon Hyperion. - Shadows Side by Side (Released 6 November 2009)
A pair of moon shadows and a series of spokes adorn this ring image taken about a month after Saturn's August 2009 equinox.
