Saturn. Coloured Cassini infrared image of Saturn's planetary surface and its rings. The icy particles in the rings are blue,the sunlit regions of the planet are green,and the thermal (heat) radiation emitted by the planet is seen as red. The red region is banded due to clouds in the atmosphere blocking some of the thermal emissions. This mosaic image was created using data from the Visual and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer on board the Cassini spacecraft on 24th February 2007 and was obtained at a distance of approximately 1.6 million kilometres from Saturn | |
