![Saturn's rings as seen by the Voyager 2 spacecraft, as it passed within 103,000 km (64,000 miles) of the outermost ring, the F ring ( bottom). Above the F ring is a gap caused by the orbit of a small satellite. Following are three sections of the ring system visible from Earth[emdash]the A ring, Cassini division, and B ring. In the background is the fainter C ring.](https://cdn.britannica.com/88/21188-004-8FA5998D/Saturn-rings-spacecraft-Voyager-2-ring-F.jpg)
