Saturn

Saturn eclipsing the Sun, as seen by the Cassini orbiter. Individual rings of Saturn seen in this image include (in order, starting from most distant): E ring, Pallene ring (visible very faintly in an arc just below Saturn), G ring, Janus/Epimetheus ring (faint), F ring (narrow brightest feature), Main rings (A,B,C), and D ring (bluish, nearest Saturn). Inside the G-ring, and above the leftmost point of the main rings is the pale dot of Earth.
