How big is Saturn's moon Phoebe? Not very.

The Cassini spacecraft flies by the diminutive moon today, making its closest approach at 4:56 p.m. ET.

Dan Durda, a space scientist/artist at the Southwest Research Institute in Boulder, Colorado produced this composite image of Colorado and a Voyager 2 photo of Phoebe to scale.

Phoebe is about 137 miles (220 kilometers) wide. What's expected? Find out here.
