Description
The Greatest Saturn, yet. Enhanced.
While cruising around Saturn in 2004, Cassini captured a series of images that have composed the largest, most detailed, global natural color view of Saturn and its rings ever made.
The smallest features seen here are 24 miles across. Many of Saturn's splendid features noted previously in single frames taken by Cassini are visible in this one detailed, all-encompassing view: subtle color variations across the rings, the thread-like F ring, ring shadows cast against the blue northern hemisphere, the planet's shadow making its way across the rings to the left, and blue-grey storms in Saturn's southern hemisphere to the right. Tiny Mimas and even smaller Janus are both faintly visible at the lower left.
