Dawn's Early Light on Saturn

The light of a new day on Saturn illuminates the planet's wavy cloud patterns and the smooth arcs of the vast rings. The light has traveled around 80 minutes since it left the sun's surface by the time it reaches Saturn. This view looks toward the sunlit side of the rings from about 10 degrees above the ring plane. The image was taken with the Cassini spacecraft wide-angle camera on February 25, 2017. The view was obtained at a distance of approximately 762,000 miles (1.23 million kilometers) from Saturn.
