Space Images
Saturn’s moons Rhea and Enceladus appear as slivers in the deep black of space in this view seen by the Cassini probe.
With a diameter of about 949 miles (1,528 kilometers), Rhea appears to loom near the 314-mile (505-kilometer) wide Enceladus as the smaller moon passed behind its larger cousin. The event is known as an occultation.
