Saturn-PIA08890.jpgClouds & Clouds54 visiteCaption NASA:"Bright equatorial clouds give way to darker southern bands in this infrared Cassini spacecraft view taken with a filter sensitive to methane absorption in Saturn's Atmosphere.
Delicate shadows cast onto the Planet by its Inner Rings are visible at upper right.
A portion of the same Inner Rings are seen at lower right.
The image was taken with the Cassini spacecraft wide-angle camera using a combination of spectral filters sensitive to wavelengths of polarized infrared light.
The view was acquired on Jan. 14, 2007 at a distance of approx. 976.000 Km (about 606.000 miles) from Saturn.
Image scale is roughly 55 Km (about 34 miles) per pixel".06/04/14 at 08:46Anakin: Ecco, sbrigati :-)

Sky-W00049976.jpgBizarre Reflection in the Space of Saturn...82 visiteSembrerebbe, a prima vista, un riflesso generato dalla lente della camera che riprende (una sorta di "Lens Flare"), ma non lo è.
Sembra il residuo luminescente che caratterizza le esplosioni che occorrono in atmosfera rarefatta o nel vuoto, ma si tratta di un'idea davvero insostanziabile e MOLTO esotica.
Forse è solo un vizio dell'immagine oppure - anche se stentiamo a crederlo - un riflesso generato dalle Fontane di Encelado (lontane oltre mezzo milione di Km da CASSINI, al momento dello scatto): un riflesso generato da miliardi di microparticelle di ghiaccio che, illuminate dalla luce di Saturno - e da quella di un Sole molto lontano -, prima di perdersi nello Spazio, sembrano disegnare una sorta di scia di luce.
Chissà ...
Caption NASA:"W00049976.jpg was taken on October 09, 2008 and received on Earth October 09, 2008. The camera was pointing toward ENCELADUS that, at the time, was approx. 537.268 Km away.
The image was taken using the CL1 and CL2 filters".MareKromium05/27/14 at 18:00KKK: ...un esempio ILLUMINANTE di cosa intendo per &quo...

Saturn-PIA08130.jpgIs that a "Vertical Relief"?!?74 visiteOccasional views like this one, showing "vertical relief" in Saturn's cloud tops, help the streamers and swirls of gas seem more like a three dimensional structure than a smooth surface. As on Saturn's solid moons, vertical relief is easiest to view near the Terminator, and makes visible the shading of deeper cloud tops by high altitude bands.
The image was taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on Jan. 23, 2006, at a distance of approx. 2.7 MKM (about 1,7 MMs) from Saturn. Resolution in the original image was 16 Km (about 10 miles) per pixel. The image has been magnified by a factor of two and contrast-enhanced to aid visibility.02/25/14 at 05:51Dea Imperfetta: Grazie Paolo :)
