Inner Warmth, Hidden Light...
|
Caption NASA originale:"This false-color image of Saturn shows Ring shadows running across the upper portion of the Planet, and sunlight illuminating the lower portion of the Planet.
The upper area, in the Ring shadow, would be black in visible light but glows red in infrared because Saturn is warm inside. This light shines out through the clouds, giving scientists a look at some of Saturn's interesting atmospheric structure.
This image was taken on June 30, 2006, with Cassini's VIMS. It was constructed from images taken at wavelengths of 0,91 microns (blue); 2,25 microns (green) and at 5,01 (red).
The distance from Cassini to Saturn's center in this image is aspprox. 335.000 Km (about 208.159 miles)".
