Pretty picture: High-res color view of Prometheus and the F ring
This week has been very heavy on text and light on pretty pictures. Next week will be more of the same. So I'm closing the week with a pretty picture, Cassini's best view of the inner F ring shepherd Prometheus.

Prometheus
Cassini captured the three images for this true-color view of the inner F-ring shepherd Prometheus on December 27, 2009. This view was composed of archive data by Gordan Ugarkovic. Prometheus is 119 × 87 × 61 kilometers in diameter.Support our core enterprises
