FORD OF THE RINGS
The Saturnian moon Daphnis and Pan stir ripples in the giant planet’s rings due to their gravitational effect. Five-mile-wide Daphnis (lower left) is perturbing particles in Saturn’s A ring, while 17-mile-wide Pan (upper right) has kicked up dark wakes in the ring propagating toward the middle of the image. This picture was taken in visible light by the Cassini spacecraft’s narrow-angle camera on June 3, 2010, at a distance of about 329,000 miles from Saturn. (Photo: NASA / JPL-Caltech / SSI via MSNBC)
