Incredible Raw Image of Saturn's Swirling North Pole
Incredible Raw Image of Saturn's Swirling North Pole
By Jason Major Wednesday, November 28, 2012 Ok, are you ready for this? I know... WOW. This swirling maelstrom of clouds is what was seen over Saturn’s north pole earlier today, November 27, by NASA’s Cassini spacecraft. This is a raw image, acquired in polarized light, from a distance of 238,045 miles (383,097 kilometers)... all I did was remove some of the hot pixels that are commonly found on Cassini images taken with longer exposures. Again... WOW. My attempt at a color composite can be seen below, plus another treat: Continues he http://www.universetoday.com/98667/i...ng-north-pole/ Jai Maharaj, Jyotishi Om Shanti |
