Saturn: The A-Ring PIA01988
This view of Saturn's A-ring was obtained August 23, when Voyager 2 was about 2.8 million kilometers from the planet.

Green, violet and ultraviolet images of the ring were used to compile this 15,000 km. wide view.

Of note here are the Cassini Division, in the extreme lower right corner of this image; the Encke Division, the prominent gap in the A-ring, at upper left; and the inner F-ring shepherding satellite (1980S27), near the top of the frame.
