This close pairing of Saturn's moons Janus and Epimetheus shows the two

moons at "high phase," meaning that only a thin sliver of sunlit terrain

is visible on each moon. Portions of each are also lit feebly by reflected

light from Saturn. In this Cassini image, Janus is at top and Epimetheus

is below.
