The Rings of Saturn (Natural Colors; credits: NASA/JPL/Space Science Institute)

Caption NASA:"Shadows cast onto Saturn by its Rings, visible here as dark bands, move steadily towards the Equator and grow thinner as Equinox approaches.
The Sun will cross Saturn's Ring-Plane on Aug. 10, 2009. Color variations between clouds in the Northern Hemisphere are more apparent than those in the Southern Hemisphere, which seems relatively bland, as Spring arrives in the North and Fall in the South.

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 Nov. 22, 2008 at a distance of approx. 859.000 Km (about 533.000 miles) from Saturn and at a Phase Angle of 56°.
Image scale is roughly 48 Km (about 30 miles) per pixel".
