It's amazing how different the atmosphere looks depending on whic filter is used to view it:

Another atmosphere thingy...

Here:

is a very cool image of Pandora and the almost edge-on rings. But look at Saturn in the background - very close to the terminator. Those shadings look like cloud shadows to me. I don't recall them ever being reported before on Saturn, though Voyager 2 saw then at Neptune.

Agree, Phil, this image is breathtaking!
I made an enhancemet of these 3D clouds/waves by subtracting uniform shading:

Anyway, this isn't a new even for Cassini:
