Splendid Saturn
Image Description
PIA06594 - Cassini offers this lovely, crisp view of Saturn, which shows detail in the planet's banded atmosphere, as well as the delicate ring system.
The image has been rotated so that north on Saturn is up; the Sun illuminates Saturn from below. Saturn's tilt throws ghostly shadows of the rings onto the northern hemisphere during the current season.
