Springtime on Northern Saturn

Saturn's northern hemisphere
It's springtime on Saturn's northern hemisphere. The shadows of the rings slip southward, and the colors out of space become easier to see, as do the storms. This natural-color shot was taken from over 900,000 miles (1.5 million km) from the planet.

as always, see the Cassini site for details
