Saturnian Clouds

Caption NASA originale:"Cassini images of Saturn's dynamic atmosphere, like this detailed view, will be combined with data from the spacecraft's two infrared-sensing instruments (the Visible and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer - VIMS - and the Composite Infrared Spectrometer - CIS) to measure correlations among cloud features at many altitudes and infer heat flow across the Planet.
The numerous small, white blobs generally indicate disturbed and turbulent regions.

The image was taken with the Cassini spacecraft wide-angle camera on May 22, 2006 at a distance of approx. 331.000 Km (such as approx. 206.000 miles) from Saturn. The image was obtained using a spectral filter sensitive to wavelengths of infrared light centered at 752 nanometers. Image scale is roughly 16 Km (just 10 miles) per pixel".
