Swirly formations in Saturn's atmosphere This image of swirly formations in Saturn's atmosphere was captured by NASA's Cassini spacecraft on 30 October 2006. The image was originally captured in near-infrared and has been colored by image processor Jason Major. The low-angle view also captures some of Saturn's rings on the horizon.
