Some brilliant student has made an animation out of thousands of Cassini images and set it to a pounding take on Moonlight Sonata. It's fantastic.

Outstanding!
At 4:21 there is an eclipse which I assume is a moon/sun phenomenon. I assume that because only the sun could show a full disc under the circumstances and the geometry involved.
Is that a reasonable assumption?
And which two moon are they, the eclipsing moon and the small secondary object? Any ideas?
EDIT: But then, when I look back at 2:31 I see the bright object blocks the rings of Saturn refuting my assumption.
And what's happening at 2:32 with the rings appearing as if as an inverted bowl?

Found the images used at 2:31, the object in question is Titan

I don't know the details, but apparently it looks the way it does because of sunlight scattering through the atmosphere
