An up-close look at Saturn's atmosphere shows wavelike structures in the
planet's constantly changing clouds.
Feathery striations in the lower right appear to be small-scale waves
propagating at a higher altitude than the other cloud features.
The image was taken with the Cassini spacecraft wide-angle camera on
April 14, 2005, through a filter sensitive to wavelengths of infrared
light centered at 727 nanometers and at a distance of approximately
386,000 kilometers (240,000 miles) from Saturn. The image scale is 19
kilometers (12 miles) per pixel.
