                   NASA's Cassini captures Saturn's moons




                       NASA's Cassini spacecraft has sent back a photo of a brightly reflective Enceladus before Saturn's rings, with the planet's larger moon Titan looming in the distance.
The image was taken in visible green light with the Cassini narrow-angle camera on March 12 this year.
The view was acquired at a distance of approximately 1 million kilometers from Enceladus and at a Sun-Enceladus-spacecraft, or phase, angle of 36 degrees.
