Natural Saturn On The Cassini Cruise
This is Saturn, seen in natural color by the Hubble Space Telescope. The image was processed by the Hubble Heritage project to show the gas giant as a human eye might see it. You can spot cloud bands, storms, the nearly edge-on rings, and the tiny shadow of the moon Enceladus near the center of the planet's disk.
