DescriptionSaturn Rings PIA06175.jpg |
Panoramic view of Saturn Rings (true color image composite). Saturn's most prominent feature, its dazzling ring system, takes center stage in this stunning natural color mosaic which reveals the color and diversity present in this wonder of the solar system. Gaps, gravitational resonances and wave patterns are all present and the delicate color variations across the system are clearly visible. This mosaic of six images covers a distance of approximately 62,000 kilometers along the ring plane, from a radius of 74,565 kilometers to 136,780 kilometers (46,333 to 84,991 miles) from the planet’s center. This view is of the illuminated side of the rings from Cassini’s vantage point beneath the ring plane. The rings are tilted away from Cassini at an angle of about 4 degrees. Images taken using red, green and blue spectral filters were used to create this natural color mosaic. The images were acquired using the narrow angle camera on December 12, 2004 from a distance of approximately 1.8 million kilometers (1.1 million miles). The image scale is 10.5 kilometers (6.5 miles) per pixel. The Cassini-Huygens mission is a cooperative project of NASA, the European Space Agency and the Italian Space Agency. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, manages the Cassini-Huygens mission for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington, D.C. The imaging team consists of scientists from the US, England, France, and Germany. The imaging operations center and team lead (Dr. C. Porco) are based at the Space Science Institute in Boulder, Colo.
