Picture of the planet Saturn
Home
Description:
A false-color picture of features in Saturn's North Temperate Belt. The bright spot on the bottom left of the picture was caused by strong winds on Saturn.
The 180-kilometers per hour winds in the broad white band changed the bright spot on the left to look like a 6. Green wavelike structures can be seen within the broad white ribbon band - these structures are in false-color to make them stand out clearly.
The smallest object you can see on this picture is 120 kilometers across.
