Cassini and the Giant Peach
NASA
Saturn looks like a giant pastel peach in this mosaic image from the Cassini orbiter, snapped May 4, 2009. The planet's rings rings cast a dramatic shadow separating the blues and greens of the northern hemisphere from the creamy pastels coloring the southern hemisphere. The mosaic combines 6 images --2 each of red, green and blue spectral filters -- to create this natural color view.
