- Aug 11 (UT) R-band coronagraphic image. The ring plane crossing occurred about 15 hours
- before this 60 second exposure was taken. The A-ring has become remarkably brighter. This
- is because for the time between the first ring plane crossing on May 22 UT, and the second
- ring plane crossing (Aug 10 UT), we were viewing the dark side of the rings, but now we are
- seeing the side which is illuminated by the Sun. The A-ring is thoroughly saturated in this
- image.
