Saturn, Cassini infrared image
Saturn, Cassini infrared image. This view is of a region of Saturns northern hemisphere. A section of the rings (blue) is visible at upper left. The banded appearance of the planet is caused by the variation in composition of clouds in its atmosphere. Saturn is a gas giant, where its primary constituent is not rock or liquid, but gas. This means that its surface is not well- defined, except for the atmospheric gases becoming more dense the closer they are to the planets core. The Cassini-Huygens spacecraft was launched in 1997 to investigate Saturn, its rings and its moons. This image was obtained using Cassinis wide-angle camera on 5th April 2007, at a distance of approximately 1.4 million kilometres from Saturn

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures a mesmerizing infrared image of Saturn, showcasing a region in its northern hemisphere. The ethereal beauty of the gas giant is enhanced by the presence of a section of its iconic rings, elegantly displayed in shades of blue at the upper left corner. The banded appearance on Saturn's surface is a result of varying cloud compositions within its atmosphere. Unlike rocky or liquid planets, Saturn primarily consists of gas, making its surface indistinct and ill-defined. However, as we delve deeper towards its core, the atmospheric gases become denser. This image was captured by Cassini-Huygens spacecraft's wide-angle camera on April 5th, 2007 when it was approximately 1.4 million kilometers away from Saturn. The Cassini-Huygens mission launched back in 1997 with the aim to unravel the mysteries surrounding Saturn, including its majestic rings and intriguing moons. This particular photograph serves as a testament to humanity's relentless pursuit for knowledge about our solar system. With elements such as bands, patterns, and layers visible within this celestial marvel, it showcases not only the wonders of planetary science but also highlights how weather phenomena play out even beyond Earth's boundaries. As an astronomical masterpiece captured through infrared technology by Science Photo Library's talented team (not affiliated with any company), this print invites us to explore and appreciate the awe-inspiring vastness that lies beyond our own planet.
