Bright, circular cloud features waltz through the turbid atmosphere of Saturn in this Cassini view. The image was taken using a spectral filter sensitive to wavelengths of infrared light centered at 750 nanometers. The view was obtained with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on July 8, 2007 at a distance of approximately 2.9 million kilometers (1.8 million miles) from Saturn. Image scale is 17 kilometers (10 miles) per pixel. |

This is another beautiful detail of Saturn's atmosphere. I gave it a 10 rating.
It looks as though you could just dive right into the clouds. Would be a rather
cold experience.. GRIN. The detail of the cloud structure is amazing. The infared
even seems to make it almost 3d like in Black and White. I would like to see
some digital artist take this and put color to it. Cassini is definity floating
high; sails raised full in the cosmic ocean!
