The Southern Regions of Saturn

Caption NASA:"With pastel blues, pinks, greens and golds, Saturn displays a dazzling diversity of colors and hues.
Here, Cassini looks upward at, and through, the sunlit side of the Rings from about 19° below the Ring-Plane. The small moon Janus can be spotted off the Planet's Western Limb (edge) near the image bottom.
Images taken using red, green and blue spectral filters were combined to create this natural-color view. The images were obtained with the Cassini spacecraft wide-angle camera on Feb. 3, 2007, at a distance of approx. 1,1 MKM (about 700.000 miles) from Saturn.
Image scale is roughly 60 Km (about 38 miles) per pixel".
