About this image

This animated GIF blinks two stacks of Saturn images 15 minutes apart. It clearly shows ring spoke movement on the left hand side as well as three moons of Saturn, top right a faint Dione, then lower left Rhea and lower right Tethys. The Southern pole area of Saturn also clearly shows movement between the images.
