Comments on: Cassini’s dive through the plume http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2008/03/17/cassinis-dive-through-the-plume/ I am an astronomer, writer, and skeptic. I likes reality the way it is, and I aims to keep it that way. My real name is Phil Plait, and I run the Bad Astronomy blog.

Bruce Willis would save us from it at the last minute.

That is actually light being refracted through Saturn's atmosphere, apparently. This also means that the light is very dim, so the shine from the moons may matter more (relatively) than when we're dealing with sunlight. Apologies, I hadn’t realized that was an eclipse image.
