The Southern Latitudes and the South Pole of Saturn (Extremely Enhanced Natural Colors - elab. Lunexit)
|
Caption NASA:"Rippling with detail, the Southern Hemisphere of Saturn comes to life in this view from the Cassini spacecraft. Long, flowing streamers and bands of great contrast soften toward the Pole, where a great hurricane-like storm resides.
The image was taken with the Cassini spacecraft wide-angle camera using a spectral filter sensitive to wavelengths of infrared light centered at 890 nanometers.
The image was taken on Feb. 1, 2007 at a distance of approx. 945.000 Km (about 587.000 miles) from Saturn.
Image scale is roughly 53 Km (approx. 33 miles) per pixel".
