Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Clouds may be seen in Saturn's northern hemisphere in this false-color image from NASA's Cassini mission. Kevin M. Gill, a fan of space imaging and an engineer at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, created the image.
Images captured by Cassini's wide-angle camera on July 20, 2016, were used to create the image, which was created using a mixture of spectral filters sensitive to infrared light at 750, 727, and 619 nanometers. These filters have proved helpful throughout Cassini's mission for assessing the structure and depth of cloud structures in the atmosphere because they are sensitive to the absorption and scattering of sunlight by methane in Saturn's atmosphere. |
