Saturn-PIA09722.jpgSub-Equatorial Saturnian Clouds (natural colors - elab. Lunexit)54 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".MareKromium

Tethys-PIA09723.jpgThe "Scars" of Tethys...54 visiteCaption NASA:"The Cassini spacecraft spies four large impact basins on the Southern Hemisphere of icy Tethys.
Tethys (approx. 1071 Km, or 665 miles across), like the other airless worlds of the Solar System, wears the record of countless impacts experienced over the eons.
Lit terrain seen here is on the leading hemisphere of Tethys. North is up and rotated 15° to the left.
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. 452.000 Km (such as about 281.000 miles) from Tethys and at a Sun-Tethys-spacecraft, or phase, angle of 54°.
Image scale is roughly 3 Km (about 2 miles) per pixel".MareKromium

Japetus-N00091779.jpgJapetus and some Stars54 visiteCaption NASA:N00091779.jpg was taken on September 09, 2007 and received on Earth September 09, 2007. The camera was pointing toward Japetus that, at the time, was approx. 268.558 Km away, and the image was taken using the CL1 and CL2 filters. This image has not been validated or calibrated".
Nota Lunexit: l'evidente sovraesposizione della falce illuminata di Giapeto ci induce a ritenere (ragionevolmente) che alcuni dei punti luminosi visibili nello spazio circostante la luna Saturniana non sìano i soliti image-artifacts, ma vere e proprie stelle (raramente visibili in frames che riprendono corpi molto luminosi - in questo caso, poi, oltre alla sovraesposizione, ci aiuta anche la bassissima albedo che caratterizza un'ampia porzione di Giapeto).MareKromium
