NASA. An extraordinary view of the planet SATURN as seen by - Lot 255
NASA. An extraordinary view of the planet SATURN as seen by the CASSINI spacecraft while in the planet's shadow (the sun is behind the planet, shielding the cameras from direct sunlight). ) In addition to the visual splendor, this special geometry of very high phase viewing allows scientists to study phenomena in the rings and atmosphere that are difficult to see at a lower phase. Since images like this can only be taken when the sun is behind the planet, this beautiful view is all the more valuable for its rarity. Two of Saturn's moons are also shown in this image: Enceladus and Tethys. Both appear on the left side of the planet, below the rings. Enceladus is closer to the rings; Tethys is below and to the left.Images taken with infrared, red, and violet spectral filters have been combined to create this color-enhanced view.Period chromogenic print. References in the plate on the front. Legend on label on back. 50.4 x 50.4CM with margins.
