NASA's Cassini spacecraft currently orbiting Saturn has captured the best photo yet of the planet's small, cratered moon Pandora.
Cassini took the new Pandora photo earlier this month from a distance of about about 25,000 miles (40,000 kilometers), the spacecraft's closest-ever pass of the small moon.
"This image from NASA's Cassini spacecraft is one of the highest-resolution views ever taken of Saturn's moon Pandora," NASA officials wrote in an image description. "The spacecraft captured the image during its closest-ever flyby of Pandora on Dec. 18, 2016, during the third of its grazing passes by the outer edges of Saturn's main rings."
Saturn's moon Pandora is small, just 52 miles (84 kilometers) across, and orbits the planet from just outside the planet's slender F ring. The scale of Cassini's new image is 787 feet (240 meters) per pixel, according to NASA.
