Saturn separated from its rings From its inclined orbit in late 2006, Cassini could look down upon Saturn and see the globe floating among its rings. This view was captured on October 30, 2006 from a high northern latitude, viewing Saturn's winter pole, sunlit crescent, and the backlit rings. NASA / JPL-Caltech / SSI
