Janus-PIA10455~0.jpgNorthern Latitudes on Janus (natural colors; credits: Lunexit)59 visiteCaption NASA:"On a high-inclination orbit of Saturn, the Cassini Spacecraft gazes down at the North Polar Region of Janus. This view looks toward Janus from a perspective 72° North of the moon's Equator.
The image was taken with the Cassini Spacecraft narrow-angle camera on July 14, 2008 using a spectral filter sensitive to wavelengths of infrared light centered at 752 nanometers. The view was acquired at a distance of approx. 259.000 Km (about 161.000 miles) from Janus and at a Sun-Janus-Spacecraft, or Phase, Angle of 78°.
Image scale is roughly 2 Km (5085 feet) per pixel".MareKromiumAgo 31, 2008

Mimas-PIA10433.jpgMimas (possible True Colors; credits: Lunexit)115 visiteCaption NASA:"Deep craters riddle the pulverized, icy surface of Saturn's moon Mimas.
This view looks toward Southern Latitudes on Mimas from a vantage point 47° below the moon's Equator. North is towards the top of the image and rotated 40° to the right.
The image was taken in visible green light with the Cassini Spacecraft narrow-angle camera on June 16, 2008. The view was obtained at a distance of about 217.000 Km (approx. 135.000 miles) from Mimas and at a Sun-Mimas-Spacecraft, or Phase, Angle of 83°.
Image scale is roughly 1 Km (about 0,6 mile) per pixel".MareKromiumAgo 29, 2008

Dione-PIA10458.jpgDione (possible True Colors; credits: Lunexit)57 visiteCaption NASA:"Bright, wispy-looking fractures reach across the rugged, icy landscape of Dione (see PIA06163 for a close-up view of Dione's icy canyons). The medium-sized crater Dido, with its prominent central peak, sits just right of the Terminator, below center.
This view looks toward the Saturn-facing Side of Dione. North is toward the top and rotated 6° to the left.
The image was taken in visible light with the Cassini Spacecraft narrow-angle camera on July 21, 2008. The view was acquired at a distance of approx 290.000 Km (such as about 180.000 miles) from Dione and at a Sun-Dione-Spacecraft, or Phase, Angle of 89°.
Image scale is roughly 2 Km (a little more than 1 mile) per pixel".MareKromiumAgo 29, 2008

Saturn-PIA10457.jpgSouthern Turbulence (natural colors; credits: NASA)58 visiteCaption NASA:"A line of vortices rolls through the turbulent region on Saturn nicknamed "Storm Alley" by Cassini scientists. This latitude band, centered around 35° South, has displayed persistent, intensive storm activity since Cassini began its approach to Saturn in early 2004.
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 July 23, 2008 at a distance of approximately 1 MKM (such as about 622.000 miles) from Saturn.
Image scale is roughly 56 Km (about 35 miles) per pixel".MareKromiumAgo 29, 2008

Janus-PIA10455.jpgJanus' North Polar Regions55 visiteCaption NASA:"On a high-inclination orbit of Saturn, the Cassini Spacecraft gazes down at the North Polar Region of Janus.
This view looks toward Janus (about 179 Km, or approx. 111 miles across) from a perspective 72° North of the moon's Equator. The image was taken with the Cassini Spacecraft narrow-angle camera on July 14, 2008 using a spectral filter sensitive to wavelengths of infrared light centered at 752 nanometers. The view was acquired at a distance of approx. 259.000 Km (about 161.000 miles) from Janus and at a Sun-Janus-Spacecraft, or Phase, Angle of 78°.

The_Rings-PIA10454.jpgOut of the Darkness (natural colors; credits: NASA)61 visiteCaption NASA:"Saturn's rings burst out of shadow and curve gracefully around the Planet.
Prometheus (86 Km, or 53 about miles across at its widest point) appears as a bright speck touching the inside of the narrow F-Ring. Atlas (30 Km, or approx. 19 miles across at its widest point) is also visible, faintly, upward and to the left of Prometheus, just outside the A-Ring edge. Saturn's shadow cuts across the Rings at top right.
Several dark, narrow spokes are faintly visible near the B-Ring ansa, left of center.
This view looks toward the unilluminated side of the Rings from about 13° above the Ring-Plane. 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 July 4, 2008 at a distance of approx. 1,2 MKM (about 775.000 miles) from Saturn.
Image scale is roughly 71 Km (about 44 miles) per pixel".MareKromiumAgo 25, 2008
