I don't often post monochrome images from Cassini, but something about the lines, shadows and banding in this image lends it a noirish, sci-fi atmosphere. Or perhaps a dark chocolate, liquorice deliciousness, I'm not sure which.
Rhea transits the disc, while if you click for the full view, Mimas is a small speck visible over the edge-on rings towards the right of the image.

Nice. It has a sort of zen-like look to it.
Also, it's quite fashionable - black and white stripes are very 'in' this year. You never know, the other planets may start sporting them, too. ;)
Very noir. This is a planet with dark secrets.
Seems like a very shy planet.
It's too beautiful for words :)
