Explanation:
|
This image of Saturn was made by NASA's robot spacecraft Voyager [ http://nssdc.gsfc.n…] 2 as it began to explore the Saturn system in 1981. Saturn's famous rings are visible along with two of its moons, Rhea and Dione which appear as faint dots in the right and lower right part of the picture. Astronomers believe that Saturn's moons play a fundamental role in sculpting its elaborate ring system. For more information about the picture see the NASA, JPL press release. [ http://nssdc.gsfc.n…]
