Sub-Equatorial Saturnian Clouds (natural colors - elab. Lunexit)
|
Caption NASA:"A chevron-shaped pattern and bright vortices stand out in the turbulent Saturnian Atmosphere. Such features are hallmarks of the boundary between alternating East-West flowing cloud bands.
This view looks toward an area about 9° South of the Planet's Equator.
The image was taken with the Cassini spacecraft wide-angle camera on July 28, 2007 using a spectral filter sensitive to wavelengths of infrared light centered at 889 nanometers. The view was acquired at a distance of approx. 3,1 MKM (such as about 1,9 MMs) from Saturn.
Image scale is roughly 37 Km (approx. 23 miles) per pixel".
