Saturn's Rings in natural colors from Cassini-Huygens
Caption NASA originale:Saturn's faintly banded atmosphere is delicately colored and its threadbare rings cross their own shadows in this marvelous natural color view from Cassini. 
The planet and its rings would nearly fill the space between Earth and the Moon. Yet, despite their great breadth, the rings are a few meters thick and in some places, very translucent. In this image, we can see through the C-Ring, which is closest to Saturn, and through the Cassini division, the 4.800-Km wide gap that arcs across the top of the image and separates the optically thick B-Ring from the A-Ring. The part of the atmosphere seen through the gap appears darker and more bluish due to scattering at blue wavelengths by the cloud-free upper atmosphere. 
The different colors in Saturn's atmosphere are due to particles whose composition is yet to be determined. 
The image was obtained with the Cassini spacecraft narrow angle camera on July 30, 2004, at a distance of 7.6 MKM from Saturn".
