Saturn from above, in color
I wrote recently about a set of images of Saturn acquired by Cassini from a unique vantage point, well above the planet, looking down on the rings. Someone has taken up the challenge of assembling the 36 different images into a single mosaic, in color, and it is as lovely as I'd hoped. Here is Ian Regan's take on Saturn from above. Enjoy. Click to enlarge and have fun following those little threads of rings all the way around the planet!
