With its second to last swing by Titan the curtain has now opened on Cassini's final act. What wonders will we see in the rings?

New Atlas shots are amazing. But, unexpectedly, so are these Saturn shots, using RED filter, that reveal some very intricate cloud details.
Microsoft ICE mosaics: To my knowledge, nothing like that (meaning resolution and detail) has ever been seen on Saturn before. This is uncannily similar to the CGI view in that recent video about Cassini's last mission: P.S. Are these shots actually of the polar regions? That would explain the swirls, similar to what we've seen from JunoCam on Jupiter. This quick RGB stack really looks like a polar region (bluish hues): -------------------- Curiosity rover panoramas: http://www.facebook.com/CuriosityRoverPanoramas
