Saturn's Infrared Glow
Saturn's familiar rings nearly vanish in this infrared view from the Cassini spacecraft, seen edge-on. The image uses false colors to highlight different features on the gas giant. The contrast between the day and night sides is striking, with the day side reflecting blue-green sunlight from the cloud tops.
