Saturn-PIA09722.jpgSub-Equatorial Saturnian Clouds (natural colors - elab. Lunexit)58 visiteCaption NASA:"A chevron-shaped pattern and bright vortices stand out in the turbulent Saturnian Atmosphere. Such features are hallmarks of the boundary between alternating East-West flowing cloud bands.
This view looks toward an area about 9° South of the Planet's Equator.
The image was taken with the Cassini spacecraft wide-angle camera on July 28, 2007 using a spectral filter sensitive to wavelengths of infrared light centered at 889 nanometers. The view was acquired at a distance of approx. 3,1 MKM (such as about 1,9 MMs) from Saturn.
Image scale is roughly 37 Km (approx. 23 miles) per pixel".MareKromiumSet 07, 2007

Japetus-N00091570.jpgJust a "Slice" of Japetus...59 visiteCaption NASA:"N00091570.jpg was taken on September 05, 2007 and received on Earth September 05, 2007. The camera was pointing toward Japetus that, at the time, was approx. 1.025.448 Km away, and the image was taken using the CL1 and IR1 filters.

Japetus-PIA09970.jpgJapetus58 visiteCaption NASA:"Images taken with Cassini's Ultraviolet Imaging Spectrograph shed some light on the dark side of Saturn's moon Iapetus. Scientists are trying to figure out what painted Iapetus' Dark Side. This is one of the biggest mysteries scientists are trying to answer during the upcoming Sept. 10, 2007, flyby.
The ultraviolet image on the left indicates water ice abundance across the surface: the bright North Polar Terrain (shown in red) is the iciest region in this view. Away from the Pole, as the color shifts to blue, less water ice is present in the surface.
The darkest terrain, which includes very little water ice, is shown in light blue.
The dark sky background viewed during the observation is shown as purple in this color scheme.
The ultraviolet-light image was taken during a flyby in December 2004. A visible light image taken on the same date is shown on the right for reference".MareKromiumSet 06, 2007

Tethys-PIA09017.jpgOdysseus57 visiteCaption NASA:"The Cassini spacecraft provides a stunning view of the Odysseus impact basin on Tethys. The enormous basin is about 450 Km (approx. 280 miles) wide.
The medium-sized crater Melanthius is seen along the Terminator at lower left.
This view looks toward the Leading Hemisphere of Tethys. North is up.
The image was taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on July 21, 2007. The view was obtained at a distance of approx. 211.000 Km (such as about 131000 miles) from Tethys and at a Sun-Tethys-spacecraft, or phase, angle of 46°.
Image scale is 1 kilometer (0.6 mile) per pixel".MareKromiumSet 02, 2007
