## Caption

What a view! Before its graceful farewell, our Cassini spacecraft offered us a virtual window seat to different worlds. 
This image shows a "passenger perspective” of luminous Saturn & its signature rings through a haze of Sun glare on the camera lens. If you could travel to Saturn in person and look out the window of your spacecraft when the Sun was at a certain angle, you might see a view very similar to this one. It was taken during a June 23, 2013 flyby from ~491,200 miles away.
