Saturn's South Polar Regions (near Natural Colors - elab. NASA)
|
Caption NASA:"The Cassini spacecraft views Saturn's Southern Latitudes in color, spying a great, eye-shaped vortex just northward of the South Polar Region. Other dark vortices, common features of Saturn's general circulation, are visible in the Mid-Latitudes.
Contrast in the image was enhanced to make features in the atmosphere more visible.
Images taken using red, green and blue spectral filters were combined to create this near-natural color view. The images were taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft wide-angle camera on Jan. 14, 2007 at a distance of approx. 958.000 Km (such as about 595.000 miles) from Saturn.
Image scale is roughly 54 Km (about 33 miles) per pixel".
