Saturn seen by Cassini spacecraft
auteur: Nasa/JPL/SSI/Novapix
référence: a-sat05-10004
Image Size 300 DPI: 12 * 12 cm
Images taken with blue, green and red spectral filters were used to create this color view, which approximates the scene as it would appear to the human eye. The view was brightened to enhance detail visible in the rings and within their shadows.
The images were obtained with the Cassini wide-angle camera from a distance of approximately 999,000 kilometers (621,000 miles) from Saturn on May 4, 2005, as the spacecraft cruised a few degrees above the ring plane.
