Southern Saturn
|
Caption NASA:"Cassini takes in a sweeping view of Saturn's South Polar Region as the planet's shadow masks the Rings and bright, icy Mimas looks on from left.
This view looks toward the lit side of the Rings from about 28° below the Ring-Plane.
Images taken using red, green and blue spectral filters were combined to create this color view. The view was acquired with the wide-angle camera on Feb. 20, 2007, at a distance of approximately 1 MKM (about 600.000 miles) from Saturn.
Image scale is roughly 58 Km (about 36 miles) per pixel".
