Incredible Raw Image of Saturn's Swirling North Pole

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:
