The next triple ring plane crossing of Saturn will occur.
In the further distance, structures stuck out of the ring plane far enough to get sundazzle.
This event is known as a ring plane crossing.
I wanted to get up above the ring plane a few hundred kilometers before we started moving alongside it.
This view looks toward the northern, sunlit side of the rings from less than one degree above the ring plane.
I recommend that we traverse the ring plane through one of the larger gaps.
Helm, drop below the ring plane and engage at warp three.
The satellites, orbiting almost exactly in the ring plane, followed this line.
It was just a klick above the ring plane.
The separation between the two ring planes is approximately 6.40 Å.
