Captured June 12, 2007, by the Cassini spacecraft: Rainbow on the Rings
The opposition effect, a brightness surge that is visible on Saturn's rings when the sun is directly behind the spacecraft, is captured here as a colorful halo of light moving across Saturn's sunlit rings.

Old #science books are so fun! Since #saturn is on its way to having its rings 'dissappear' (from our angle), a shout-out to the old Franklin edition of 'Practical Astronomy' Fig 98 and the debate about the shape of the rings. Observe, but don't be afraid to change your premise when better data comes in ;-)
FYI northern hemisphere, Saturn is good atm so you can reproduce with binoculars or very small telescopes #history #astronomy #Astrodon #saturnday #saturnrings #space #SilentSunday

Science Magazine astronomy covers appreciation post
The dark side of Saturn's rings (1996) - imaged by the Hubble Space Telescope
The main rings are illuminated by reflected saturnshine and by sunlight diffusely transmitted through the translucent C ring and Cassini division.
