Saturn, Its Rings and Nearby Satellites
A banded globe sits within broad, sharply outlined rings against a dark field. Small pale discs nearby indicate satellites at a much smaller visual scale. The illustration presents Saturn in The Story of the Sun, Moon, and Stars. Curving bands across the planet echo the rings while retaining the distinction between the globe and its surrounding system.
