Can You Spot a Third moon In this photo?
According to NASA, there are three. The photo shows Enceladus, Rhea, and Atlas. Eceladus and Rhea are easy to see, but Atlas not so much.
Here, Cassini has captured Enceladus (313 miles) above the rings and Rhea (949 miles) below. The comparatively tiny speck of Atlas (19 miles) can also be seen just above and to the left of Rhea, and just above the thin line of Saturn's F ring.This view looks toward the unilluminated side of the rings from about 0.34 degrees below the ring plane.
The photo was taken by the Cassini spacecraft on September 24.
looks toward the unilluminated side of the rings from about 0.34 degrees below the ring plane, at a distance of approximately 1.8 million miles (2.8 million kilometers) from the moon Rhea.
