Monitoring the Maelstrom

Caption NASA:"Clouds and vortices churn in this beautiful, close-up view of Saturn. This image is part of a series of important Cassini observations designed to provide information about winds and convection on Saturn.
The view is centered on a Region 44° North of Saturn 's Equator.

The image was taken with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on Nov. 7, 2007 using a spectral filter sensitive to wavelengths of infrared light centered at 750 nanometers. The view was acquired at a distance of approx. 2,9 MKM (such as about 1,8 MMs) from Saturn.
Image scale is roughly 17 Km (11 miles) per pixel".
