NASA's probe Saturn Cassini has sent back spectacular views [1] from the Solar System's second largest planet.
The above image shows the tiny cratered moon Janus passing in front of Saturn's famous rings. It's dwarfed by whopper of a moon Titan behind, with a thin cresent lit by the Sun. Titan is bigger than inner planet Mercury.
This snap was taken on Tuesday with Cassini's narrow-angle camera.
Cassini recently found evidence of water [2] on another of Saturn's moons.®
