This is a new photo taken by the Cassini spacecraft from its current vantage point in orbit around Saturn. These are the two largest moons of Saturn, Rhea, in the foreground, and Titan, the largest moon in our solar system, looming behind.
Cassini is going to hang around snapping photos and collecting data until its mission ends in 2017, at which time it will be dropped into a decaying orbit and collide with the hard surface of Saturn somewhere far, far below her cloud tops.
