The image on the right shows a shadow from Enceladus on the stormy atmosphere of the planet Saturn. The image was taken by the Cassini spacecraft's narrow angle camera with a near infrared spectra filter. The spacecraft was 779,000 miles miles from the planet when the image was taken on June 20, 2008. Image credit: NASA/JPL/Space Science Institute
