During the four hours it took Cassini to image the entire 647,808 kilometres (402,529 mi)-wide scene, the spacecraft captured a total of 323 images, 141 of which were used in the mosaic. [6] NASA revealed that this imaging marked the first time four planets – Saturn, Earth, Mars, and Venus – had been captured at once in visible light by the ...

Pan, photographed by Cassini on March 7, 2017. The thin equatorial ridge is clearly visible. Cassini scientists have described Pan as "walnut-shaped" [14] owing to the equatorial ridge, similar to that on Atlas, that is visible in images. The ridge is due to ring material that Pan has swept up from the Encke gap.
The white and grey dots below each images (Iapetus' equator) will later be revealed to be Voyager Montes by Cassini. [10] Taken on August 22, 1981. A global view of Iapetus obtained by the Cassini spacecraft on Dec. 31, 2004 - the first-ever clear image of the ridge - at a distance of about 172,900 kilometers (107,435 miles). [ 11 ]
