Saturn in Full Colour

SUMMARY: This latest true colour image of Saturn taken by Cassini completely fills the field of view of the spacecraft's narrow angle camera. The photo was taken on March 27, when the spacecraft was 47.7 million kilometres away from the Ringed Planet. Subtle colour variations are visible across the planet, from the atmospheric bands to the rings. Cassini will reach the planet in July 2004.
