Moons visible in the image are: Mimas (398 kilometers ? or 247 miles across) above the rings at left; Epimetheus (116 ? kilometers or 72 miles across) just above the A ring; Enceladus ? (499 kilometers or 310 miles across) near upper right.

The Cassini-Huygens mission is a cooperative project of NASA, the European Space Agency, and the Italian Space Agency. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, manages the Cassini-Huygens mission for NASA's office of Space Science, Washington, D.C. JPL designed, developed and assembled the Cassini orbiter.
