Here's an image taken by Cassini taken on October 11th of Saturn's moons Dione and Rhea.

How close are they? Only 300,000km (less than the distance between the Earth and the Moon) separates these two satellites of Saturn. In this image, Dione (on the left) is in front of Rhea.

Fantastic picture, you wouldn't think there was 300.000km between them.
