The fun thing about Photoshop is that any of us can make false color images of stuff like this. I can take that last pic, change it to RGB, and mess around with levels & curves to make ring features stand out even more. I wonder if it's at all like NASA has been doing for years. |

In general terms, PS is used to optimize and combine data in each colour channel... as to how...
while not specific to Cassini, we can look at the published info on Hubble... Behind the Photos - http://hubblesite.org/sci.d.tech/behind_the_pictures/ Slate summarizes the process. - http://slate.msn.com/id/2120008/ PhotoShop Filters and Hubble - http://hubblesource.stsci.edu/servic...es/2005-02-10/ |

Not only do the rings have an O2 atmosphere of sorts, but Saturn is rotating slower than when Voyager and Pioneer went by? <jon_stewart>whaaaaaaaaaaa?</jon_stewart>
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/4640641.stm Two words: Fun. Key. (Yes, easiest explanation is that the sensor data somehow differs between then and now, or the interpretation methodology.) |

And for a non-Cassini perspective for a change, Space.com offers Saturn in Visible and X-Ray

Wow...
...Hyperion is really strange looking. Almost expect a place like that to have little demonic aliens lying in wait. |

Ring Shepherds and Deformation Trails.
In honour of the Forum update and it's scrollable individual posts, I'm including a slightly crisper image here than the usual clickable size, mostly to showcase the trailing ice particles from the F ring which are following Prometheus (at left) out of the ring plane (although apparently following behind Pandora on the right).

The NOVA show on Saturn is running right now, which coincides with my current reading material, Ben Bova's Saturn. Fun!

The Titan QT sequence reminds me of the 60s acid-trip sci-fi movies, with all the funky sounds and graphics. Logan vs. Montag Part Deux
