#Saturn's Rings from the Other Side

Cassini's image of Saturn reveals the rings from a unique angle, with the Sun behind, creating a view akin to a photo negative. The dark middle band is the usually bright B-ring, with brightness variations indicating thickness and particle density. Notably absent are the spokes seen by Voyager in the 1980s. Can you find Prometheus among the rings?
