In this image, captured by NASA’s Cassini spacecraft, Saturn’s moon
Enceladus appears above the rings and the moon Rhea is below. Where is a
third moon? Find the comparatively tiny speck of Atlas above and to the
left of Rhea – about two Rhea-diameters away – just above the thin line
of Saturn’s F ring.
This view – taken on September 24, 2015 – looks toward the unilluminated
side of the rings from about 0.34 degrees below the ring plane, at a
distance of approximately 1.8 million miles (2.8 million kilometers)
from the moon Rhea.
