Movie of Saturn Moon Passing through Gap in Ring Shadows
01.19.2010  20:30



Details on this Video of Saturn's Moon Janus


Now this took some careful planning. The pictures were taken before-during-and after the sunlight coming through the Cassini division in Saturn's rings passed over the moon Janus. It's neat to think about what is going on, and that we have footage from a mere quarter of a million kilometers (2.5 x 105) away (in contrast, we on Earth were about 1.55 x 109 km away at that time). This occurred on August 27, 2009.
