Saturn April 3 2014

This is an approximate true color view of Saturn. Saturn's north polar hexagon stands out prominently while the planet casts a shadow upon its rings.

 

This composite is made of images that were taken by Cassini's camera system, the Imaging Science Subsystem (ISS) on April 03, 2014 and received on Earth April 03, 2014. The camera was pointing toward SATURN at approximately 1,352,664 miles (2,176,902 kilometers) away, and the images were taken using the CB2, GRN, MT2, CL1 and CL2 filters.
