The Southern Latitudes of Saturn
|
Caption NASA:"Stunning details in Saturn's clouds suggest movement within bands of atmosphere. This false color enhancement makes visible an exciting level of detail in the bright and dark bands that is more easily seen at Jupiter than at Saturn.
Saturn's Southern Hemisphere seems to fade into the blackness of space in this view.
The image was taken with the Cassini spacecraft wide-angle camera using a combination of spectral filters sensitive to wavelengths of infrared light centered at 752 (red channel), 890 (blue channel) and 728 (green channel) nanometers.
The view was acquired on Feb. 2, 2007 at a distance of approx. 1 MKM (such as about 600.000 miles) from Saturn.
Image scale is roughly 57 Km (about 36 miles) per pixel".
