The thin and meandering ribbon-like filaments seen here are, much like those seen in PIA07594, indicative of two-dimensional turbulence. Contrast in the image was enhanced to aid the visibility of atmospheric features. The image was taken with the wide angle camera on Aug. 20, 2005, from a distance of approximately 417,000 kilometers (259,000 miles) from Saturn using a filter sensitive to wavelengths of infrared light centered at 752 nanometers. The image scale is 21 kilometers (13 miles) per pixel.
