Picture handed on 16 August 2004 of S/2004 S1, that orbits at a distance of approximately 194,000 kilometers (120,000 miles) from Saturn. Cassini continues to uncover new wonders within the Saturn system with its discovery of two new moons orbiting between Mimas and Enceladus. The sizes of S/2004 S1 and S/2004 S2 have been estimated to be 3 and 4 kilometers (about 2 and 2.5 miles) across, respectively. Because they are small, the moons are not resolved and appear as faint points of light just barely visible above the background. The images were taken on June 1, 2004 from a distance of 16.5 million kilometers (10.3 million miles) from Saturn. The image scale is approximately 100 kilometers (62 miles) per pixel. The views were taken looking upward from Cassinis southern vantage point beneath the ring plane. (KEYSTONE/EPA/NASA/JPL/Space Science Instit) === ===
