#astronomy #Saturn #Daphnis #Cassini An article published in the journal "Science" reports new details on Saturn rings and the moons that orbit embedded in them, in particular Daphnis, in the space inside the Ring A called Keeler Division. https://english.tachyonbeam.com/2019/06/16/saturn-rings-sculpted-by-nearby-moons

#SpaceScience image of the week features Dapnis.

#Daphnis, one of #Saturn’s small ring-embedded #moons, is seen here kicking up waves as it orbits within a gap between rows of icy ring particles.

The image was taken by the international #Cassini mission, which recently concluded its incredible 13-year odyssey in the Saturn system.

Images like the one featured here, which was first released in February 2017, provide scientists with a close-up view of the complicated interactions between a moon and the planet’s rings, as well as the interactions between the ring particles themselves.
