Because I know it's a little upsetting to see a fake cg render when there are so many Cassini images out there, here's a random set pulled from the archive and quickly put together in addition to the two illustrations I added just prior.

Description
English: Because I know it's a little upsetting to see a fake cg render when there are so many Cassini images out there, here's a random set pulled from the archive and quickly put together in addition to the two illustrations I added just prior. This is not an RGB image, but it's pretty close. The red channel is a special filter called MT2 at around 752 nanometers. Quite frequently Saturn is imaged in these bands that are right at the edge or just beyond human vision. Why limit yourself to human visual range when we have all these fancy cameras for looking beyond?

In the north one can see the remnants of a storm that became famous by late 2010 for churning around and creating quite an impressive sight. www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/cassini/whycassini/cassini2013...

The horizontal line breaking the image in half is an edgewise view of Saturn's rings.
