Voyager 1 image of Saturn from 5.3 million km four days after its closest approach. This perspective allows a view of Saturn looking back towards the sun. The shadow of Saturn can be seen on the rings, and Saturn can be seen through the rings as well. Some of the spoke-like ring features are visible as bright patches.

North is at 1:00. (Voyager 1, P-23254)
