Cat's Eyes on Saturn!
|
Caption originale:"Bright, high altitude clouds, like those imaged here, often appear more filamentary or streak-like than clouds imaged at slightly deeper levels in Saturn's atmosphere. This view also shows one of the many sp-called 'Cat's Eye' vortices that swim through the Southern Latitudes.
The image was taken in polarized infrared light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on March 7, 2006, at a distance of approx. 2,9 MKM (about 1,8 MMs) from Saturn. The image scale is about 17 Km (roughly 10 miles) per pixel".
