Caption NASA originale:"The bright whorls and small-scale specks of convective clouds drift through a Region just North of Saturn's bright Equatorial Band. Observers have seen major storms develop in this Region in the past 15-20 years.

The image was taken in visible red light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on March 13, 2006, at a distance of approximately 2,6 MKM (about 1,6 MMs) from Saturn. The image scale is approx. 15 Km (about 9 miles) per pixel".
