Saturn rings cast wide shadows on the planet, and the shadow of a moon also graces the gas giant in this scene from NASA Cassini spacecraft. The moon Enceladus is not shown in this view, but it does cast a small, elongated shadow.

This image of Neptune shows the discovery of shadows in Neptune atmosphere, shadows cast onto a deep cloud band by small elevated clouds. They are the first cloud shadows ever seen by NASA Voyager on any planet.

Saturn moon Prometheus casts a narrow shadow on the rings near the much larger shadow cast by the planet in this image taken by NASA Cassini spacecraft about five months after Saturn August 2009 equinox.

The shadow of the moon Enceladus appears on Saturn just south of the thin shadow of the planet rings in this image captured by NASA Cassini spacecraft.

Saturn rings cast shadows on the planet, except their shadows appear to be inside out in this image captured by NASA Cassini spacecraft.

The shadow of the moon Janus dwarfs the shadow of Daphnis on Saturn A ring in this image taken as the planet approached its August 2009 equinox.

The ridges in this VIS image are creating shadows due to low sun angle. Shadows can give indications of the shape of the feature that is casting the shadow.

The shadow of the moon Mimas creates a smudge on the southern hemisphere of Saturn in this view from NASA Cassini spacecraft. Mimas does not appear here, but it does cast its shadow on the planet in the lower left of the image.

The soft, sweeping shadows of Saturn C ring cover bright patches of clouds in the planet atmosphere. The shadow-throwing rings stretch across the view at bottom. The dark inner edge of the B ring is visible at top

The shadow of Saturn cuts across the rings as seen by NASA Cassini spacecraft. As the ring particles enter Saturn shadow, their temperature drops to even colder temperatures, only to warm back up again when they re-emerge into the sunlight.

Shadows seem ubiquitous in this view from NASA Cassini spacecraft of Saturn rings. The moon Pan casts a long shadow towards the right from where it orbits in the Encke Gap of the A ring in the upper right of the image.

The shadow of Saturn moon Dione, cast onto the planet, is elongated in dramatic fashion in this image captured by NASA Cassini spacecraft. The moon itself does not appear here, but the shadow can be seen south of the ringplane.

Saturn moon Mimas casts a elliptical shadow on the planet south of the larger, wider shadows cast by the planet rings. Mimas and the rings are not shown in this image captured by NASA Cassini spacecraft.

The shadow of the moon Tethys stretches across Saturn A ring before fading into the B ring as the shadow extends towards the lower right of this image.

The shadow of Saturn largest moon darkens a huge portion of the gas giant planet. Titan is not pictured here, but its shadow is elongated in the bottom right of the image.

NASA Cassini Orbiter caught the shadow of the moon Prometheus as a small dark dot on Saturn just below the narrow shadow cast by the rings in the center of this image.

The moon Tethys casts its shadow on Saturn rings next to the shadow of the planet in this image taken as Saturn approaches its August 2009 equinox.

The strands of Saturn F ring disappear into the darkness of the planet shadow. Background stars make trails across the sky during the long exposure

Over the course of the Odyssey mission, the spacecraft has flown covering the surface at many different times of local day. Right now Odyssey is looking down along the day/night terminator, seeing dawn and dusk. One of the benefits from imaging at these times of day (and lower sun angles) is seeing shadows. This VIS image shows the sunrise shadow of the crater rim on the crater floor.

Several sets of shadows are cast onto the A ring in this image taken by NASA Cassini Orbiter about a week after Saturn’s August 2009 equinox.

The moon Pandora casts a shadow onto Saturn A ring but not the F ring.

The shadow of Saturn moon Mimas is elongated across the planet in this image from NASA Cassini spacecraft. The moon itself is not shown, but the shadow appears just above the ringplane on the right of the image.

Saturn moon Tethys casts a shadow on the planet A ring alongside the larger shadow cast by the planet itself in this image taken as Saturn approached its August 2009 equinox.

Today's VIS image shows part of a central pit crater located in Hesperia Planum. The dark patterns on the floor of the crater are the shadows being cast by the crater rim in the early morning sun. This is a fairly young crater, and the rim is still very rough. Shadow lengths can sometimes be used to calculate the height of the object casting the shadow if the sun angle is known.

As Saturn equinox continues to approach, the moon Pan casts a slightly longer shadow on the A ring.

Blazing like an icy torch, the plume of Enceladus shines in scattered sunlight as the moon casts a shadow onto Saturn E ring
