The Southern Hemisphere of Saturn (natural colors - credits: NASA/SSI)
|
Caption NASA:"Saturn's Southern Hemisphere is glimpsed through the Gossamer Veil of its Rings. Ring shadows adorn the low Northern Latitudes.
This view looks toward the unilluminated side of the Rings from about 22° above the Ring-Plane. Images taken using red, green and blue spectral filters were combined to create this natural color view.
The images were acquired with the Cassini spacecraft wide-angle camera on Dec. 16, 2007 at a distance of approx. 1,5 MKM (about 908.000 miles) from Saturn.
Image scale is roughly 84 Km (approx. 52 miles) per pixel".
