The "Head" of Saturn (Natural Colors; credits: NASA/Space Science Institute)
|
Caption NASA:"Bright puffs and ribbons of cloud drift lazily through Saturn's murky skies. In contrast to the bold red, orange and white clouds of Jupiter, Saturn's clouds are overlain by a thick layer of haze. The visible cloud tops on Saturn are deeper in its atmosphere due to the Planet's cooler temperatures.
This view looks toward the unilluminated side of the Rings from about 18° above the Ring-Plane. Images taken using red, green and blue spectral filters were combined to create this natural color view. The images were acquired with the Cassini spacecraft wide-angle camera on April 15, 2008 at a distance of approx. 1,5 MKM (such as about 906,000 miles) from Saturn.
Image scale is roughly 84 Km (about 52 miles) per pixel".
