Description
Saturn, infrared Cassini image. The colours assigned to the infrared bands observed here produce an image that highlights three main features: the large ring system (deep blue), the high-altitude cloud haze (green) and Saturn's internal heat (orange). The gaps between the rings and the planet's shadow on the rings (both dark) are also clearly seen. Saturn is some 120,000 kilometres across. This composite image was obtained by Cassini's visual and infrared mapping spectrometer on 1 November 2008.
