A "Clash of Clouds" in Saturn's upper atmosphere
|
Caption NASA originale:"The Cassini spacecraft presents a tempestuous scene in which the clouds of Saturn's bright Equatorial Region entwine with those in darker, Southerly Latitudes.
The image was taken using a filter sensitive to wavelengths of infrared light centered at 890 nanometers. The image was acquired with the Cassini spacecraft wide-angle camera on Aug. 16, 2006 at a distance of approx. 289.000 Km (about 180.000 miles) from Saturn. Image scale is roughly 14 Km (such as about 8 miles) per pixel".
