Texture in the Outer Cassini Division

NASA's image library records Texture in the Outer Cassini Division.

WHY IT’S INTERESTING

This image of Saturn's rings illustrates how textures in the rings can differ, even in close proximity. The image was taken at a distance of approximately 70,000 miles (113,000 kilometers) from the rings and at a phase angle of 52 degrees. Image scale is 2,300 feet (690 meters) per pixel. https://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA23171
