There are some gorgeous crescent saturn images coming down in the raws at the moment.
You can really see how oblate saturn is. |

Here's the latest six-frame mosaic:
It really is a pity that the WAC doesn't seem to have an adequate enough sun shield.

QUOTE (David @ Oct 31 2006, 05:16 PM) Are my eyes playing tricks on me, or do some of those clouds have discernible shadows, suggesting that they're projecting a considerable height above a lower cloud layer? Saturn has a very "deep" atmosphere. The cloud-level gravity is actually only slightly greater than Earth's, and at cloud depths, the temperature is comparable to that of Earth's cloud levels. But Saturn has the lowest molecular weight atmosphere of any in the solar system -- almost pure H2. Simply put, that gives Saturn about 7 times the scale height of Earth, so cloud phenomena get some tremendous vertical stretching. |

A rather colorful north polar area on Saturn is revealed in these WAC RGB composites. The unlit rings are too dim to be visible here without severe compression artifacts.
