The surfaces of the moons Atlas, Prometheus and Pandora, farther out from Saturn, have ring material as well - but they're also coated with the bright icy particles and water vapor from the plume spraying out of Enceladus. (A broad outer ring of Saturn, known as the E ring, is formed by the icy material that fans out from Enceladus' plume.)
