This time-lapse movie shows the icy moons Mimas, Enceladus, Dione, and Tethys rounding Saturn when the planet's rings were tilted nearly edge-on toward the Sun. This edge-on alignment occurs once every 15 years.

In March 2003, Saturn's rings were at maximum tilt toward Earth, a special event occurring every 15 years. With the rings fully tilted, astronomers get the best views of the planet's Southern Hemisphere. They took advantage of the rings' unique alignment by using Hubble to capture some stunning images.

This time-lapse sequence shows the moons Titan and Tethys orbiting Saturn when the planet's rings were tilted nearly edge-on toward Earth. This edge-on alignment happens once every 15 years. The last time this alignment occurred was in 1995 and 1996. As Titan makes its trek across the disk, Tethys appears on the left from behind the planet.
