The ringed planet sits in repose, the center of its own macrocosm of many rings and moons and one artificial satellite named Cassini. Mimas (397 kilometers, or 247 miles across) is visible at upper left. Although unseen in this view, Enceladus (504 kilometers, or 313 miles across) casts its shadow upon the planet. The rings also block the sun's light from the low latitudes of the northern hemisphere.

在离土星的不远处，其中心环绕着卫星、星环和一颗人造卫星（卡西尼号）。在照片的左上方土卫一（距离卡西尼号397公里，或247英里）。尽管没有土卫二（距离卡西尼号504公里，或313英里）在照片中，但是它和土星环的阴影洒在土星的北半球上。
