The View from the Far Side of Saturn’s Rings This false-color view of the side of the rings away from the Sun was taken by Voyager 1. The Cassini division appears white, not black like the empty gap between the A and F rings. Hence, the Cassini division cannot be empty, but must contain a number of relatively small particles that scatter sunlight like dust motes.
