IR Saturn

Caption NASA:"Cassini looks toward Northern Latitudes on Saturn and out across the Ring-Plane.
This InfraRed (IR) view probes clouds beneath the hazes that obscure the Planet's depths in natural color views.
This image looks toward the unilluminated side of the Rings from about 24° above the Ring-Plane. The Rings' shadow drapes across the region North of the Planet's bright Equatorial Band.
The image was taken with the Cassini spacecraft wide-angle camera using a spectral filter sensitive to wavelengths of light centered at 890 nanometers. The view was acquired on May 24, 2007 at a distance of approx. 1,5 MKM (such as about 1 MMs) from Saturn.
Image scale is roughly 89 Km (55 miles) per pixel".
