The image posted by NASA shows a large portion of Saturn and its ring, it also features a moon at a distance. The Cassini Spacecraft captured this view of Saturn and its moon as it zoomed through Saturn's system, studying the gas giant's atmosphere, magnetosphere, moons, and rings.
NASA also shared a description of the photograph. It said, "Though the lean in the image is just a result from the perspective of Cassini, Saturn is similarly tilted like Earth. Seasons on the ringed planet last seven Earth years.
