NASA has released a new photo of five of Saturn's moons.
The photo, taken on July 29th, shows moons Janus, Pandora, Enceladus, Mimas and Rhea hovering around two of the planet's rings.
Janus is on the far left.
Pandora orbits between the A ring and the thin F ring near the middle of the image.
Enceladus appears above the center of the image.
Rhea is bisected by the right edge of the image. And the smaller moon Mimas can be seen beyond Rhea on the right side of the picture.
The Cassini spacecraft captured the image.
Saturn has more than 50 moons.
