Photo Treat: Enceladus, Titan and Saturn's Rings

Little Enceladus and enormous Titan are seen on either side of Saturn's rings in this image, a color-composite made from raw images acquired by Cassini on March 12, 2012. The original images were taken in red, green and blue color channels, and with a little Photoshop editing I combined them into a roughly true-color view of what Cassini saw as it passed within 1,045,591 km of Enceladus.
