There's always an interesting arrangement of light, shadow and pastel colours to find around Saturn, and I rather like this Cassini image of Mimas against the rings, with smaller Epimetheus in the background.

Cassini made its all time closest approach to Mimas some time last week.

I nearly missed seeing Epimetheus.

I like saying that I nearly missed Epimetheus...
