Southern Turbulence (natural colors; credits: NASA)

Caption NASA:"A line of vortices rolls through the turbulent region on Saturn nicknamed "Storm Alley" by Cassini scientists. This latitude band, centered around 35° South, has displayed persistent, intensive storm activity since Cassini began its approach to Saturn in early 2004.
Images taken using red, green and blue spectral filters were combined to create this natural color view. The images were obtained with the Cassini Spacecraft wide-angle camera on July 23, 2008 at a distance of approximately 1 MKM (such as about 622.000 miles) from Saturn.
Image scale is roughly 56 Km (about 35 miles) per pixel".
