The photo was taken from a distance of 56,000 km . On the left side of the image you can see the route known by NASA as "straw", caused by small clusters of the tiny ice particles that make up Saturn's rings. The straw itself is visible on top of waves in the ring, which are created by the gravitational influence of the moons Epimetheus and Janus. In the rest The image shows the gravitational "traces" of the moon Pan.Source: NASA/JPL-Caltech/Space Science Institute.
