Paraphrased extract from the image's caption at the NASA Planetary Photojournal:

Saturn's small, walnut-shaped moon, Pan, embedded in the planet's rings, coasts along in this image from the Cassini spacecraft. The small, bright object is a bright background star. The image was taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on April 29, 2006, at a distance of approximately 209,000 kilometers (130,000 miles) from Pan. The image scale is approximately 1 kilometer (0.6 miles) per pixel.
