Caption NASA:"Saturn's Northern Hemisphere is seen here against its nested Rings.
This view from the Cassini Spacecraft looks toward the unilluminated side of the Rings from about 30° above the Ring-Plane. The rings have been brightened relative to the Planet to enhance visibility.
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 Feb. 24, 2009 at a distance of approx. 866.000 Km (about 538.000 miles) from Saturn.
Image scale is roughly 38 Km (about 24 miles) per pixel".
