Clouds of Saturn

Caption NASA originale:"The soft, sweeping shadows of Saturn's C-Ring cover bright patches of clouds in the Planet's Atmosphere. The shadow-throwing rings stretch across the view at bottom.
The dark inner edge of the B-Ring is visible at top.

The image was taken using a spectral filter sensitive to wavelengths of infrared light centered at 752 nanometers. The image was acquired with the Cassini spacecraft wide-angle camera on April 28, 2006 at a distance of approximately 340.000 Km (about 211,000 miles) from Saturn. Image scale is roughly 17 Km (about 10 miles) per pixel".
