In the description for a series of images by Cassini the wording of this image is "The camera was pointing toward SKY", what is SKY, is that refering to the sky or is it an acronym for something?

Which sky? Saturn's or one of the moon's? Looks like the camera got jarred as it photographed something?

Judging by the rest of the descriptions, I think SKY appears to refer to literally, sky, ie. not any objects in particular.

I imagine it's an overexposed sun or something?
