Japetus-3D.jpgJapetus in 3D56 visiteCaption NASA:"This bizarre, equatorial ridge extending across and beyond the dark, Leading Hemisphere of Japetus gives the two-toned Saturnian moon a distinct walnut shape. With red/blue glasses you can check out a remarkable stereo composition of this extraordinary feature -- based on close-up images from this week's Cassini Spacecraft flyby.
In fact, the ridge's combination of equatorial symmetry and scale, about 20 Km wide and reaching up to 20 Km above the surface, is not known to be duplicated anywhere else in our Solar System. The unique feature was discovered in Cassini images from 2004. It appears to be heavily cratered and therefore ancient, but the origin of the equatorial ridge on Iapetus remains a mystery".MareKromium

Saturn-PIA09734.jpgTurbulences56 visiteCaption NASA:"The Cassini Spacecraft has a peek beneath the hazes in Saturn's Upper Atmosphere at the swirling vortices that lurk below.
Many vortices can be seen in this image, varying in size from small to large.
The largest one in this image exhibits a collar of bright clouds surrounding the central dark core.
The view is centered on a region about 46° South of the Planet's Equator.
The image was taken with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on Aug. 12, 2007 using a spectral filter sensitive to wavelengths of infrared light centered at 750 nanometers. The view was acquired at a distance of approx. 4,1 MKM (such as about 2,5 MMs) from Saturn.
Image scale is roughly 24 Km (about 15 miles) per pixel".MareKromium
