NASA. BIG FORMAT. NASA's Cassini spacecraft... - Lot 247 - Vermot et Associés
NASA. BIG FORMAT. NASA's Cassini spacecraft hovered over Saturn and revealed this majestic view of the golden planet and its major rings. The view is in natural color, as human eyes would have seen it. This mosaic was made from 36 images in three color filters obtained by Cassini's imaging science subsystem on October 10, 2013. The observation and resulting image mosaic were planned as one of three images for Cassini's 2013 Scientist for a Day essay contest. Saturn sports different colored weather bands in this image. The rings shown here include Saturn's main rings. The D ring, the innermost, and the C, B, and A rings are easily visible. The F ring is also present, but it is difficult to see without increasing the contrast of the image. (The rings have been named in the order of their discovery rather than their position around Saturn). The rings also cast a shadow on Saturn at the planet's limb in the lower right quadrant. Period chromogenic print. Numbering in the margin on the front. Legend on the back label. 40,6 X 50,8CM with margins.
