Jan 17 at 18:29 comment added Steve Pemberton @DarthPseudonym - it's only too bad that the Moon wasn't in the right position when the ring photo was taken. In another photo taken the same day the spacecraft position had apparently changed enough to get the Moon into view, but unfortunately the rings were no longer in the camera field of view by that time. In the ring photo the Moon is technically visible, but only as a barely visible smudge on the right side of the Earth.
