Very demure. Very cutesy. Very mindful.
That’s how Saturn’s inner rings shine in diffused, scattered light as NASASolarSystem’s Cassini spacecraft looks on the planet’s night side. The southern hemisphere is lit by sunlight reflecting off the rings, while the north portion shines much more feebly in the dim light that filters through the rings and is scattered on the top half of the planet.
See how Saturn glows even when it’s not directly in daylight? Very considerate, very approachable, very demure.
There may be only one star in our solar system, but everyone gets a chance to glow, ladies.
Image description: The planet takes up the left side of the image, while its rings glow in shades of gold along the right side. The rings appear dim nearest to the planet, gradually becoming bolder near the center of the rings and fade out back into faint along the outer edges.
