NASA finds Saturn's moons may be creating new rings NASA/JPL NEWS RELEASE Posted: October 11, 2006
Cassini scientists are on the trail of the missing moons of Saturn. A recent observation by the spacecraft leads them to believe that they will find the moons near newly discovered rings around the planet.
With giant Saturn hanging in the blackness and sheltering Cassini from the sun's blinding glare, the spacecraft viewed the rings as never before, revealing previously unknown faint rings and even glimpsing its home world. This marvelous panoramic view was created by combining a total of 165 images taken by the Cassini. Credit: NASA/JPL/Space Science Institute

Looks photoshopped to me. Are your sure that this isn't from Reuters?

Made from 165 images, so not sure if it qualifies as a photograph. Sure is neat though.
