This is Saturn seen from behind (by the Cassini probe), sort of eclipsing the sun, correct?

Edit: Plenty of awesome stuff with simple and accessible explanations of most of the photos can be found over here at NASA's astronomy picture of the day archive: http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/archivepix.html
It goes all the way back to June 1995, so there's over 5000 images to stare at in wonder.
