Gravity

I'f I'm reading this picture right, it looks like it shows Epimetheus raising a displacement wave in the ring system, seen almost edge-on.

I now think it probably was a shadow/perspective illusion: this picture (http://saturn.jpl.nasa.gov/multimedia/images/raw/raw-images-details.cfm?feiImageID=33687) shows a similar scene more precisely edge-on, and there's no visible warping of the ring.
