About this image

22:38 UT, 23:38 BST.

The moons are (clockwise from twelve o'clock position): Dione (inner), Titan (outer), Enceladus (inner), Iapetus (outer; western elongation, so brighter!), Tethys (inner), Rhea (inner). Don't mistake the points at seven (inner) and nine (outer) o'clock for moons - they are stars.
