A colorization of an old image taken May 10th, 2006 by Cassini's narrow-angle camera. Distance to Saturn was 2.9 million km and the phase angle was 148 degrees.

A desktop-sized, 2x enlarged crop centered around Titan can be found here.

Cassini NAC clear filter frame colorized to approximate the appearance of Saturn's limb and emphasize Enceladus' grayish color in contrast. Taken 2010-08-13 20:13 UTC.

Distance to Enceladus: 59 000 km
Distance to Saturn: 295 000 km
Phase angle: 154.5 deg

Sony KV-1222R | CRT Database RF-only TV from Sony that has a digitally controlled tuner. The RS model supports CATV channels.

Love your videos of the Computer Chronicles!! I grew up with the Sony CRT at the beginning of the show, the Sony KV-1222R or similar, except ours had the woodgrain. 👌 Hope to find one someday! crtdatabase.com/crts/sony/so...

In this image Jupiter, using colorised near infrared filters of JWST. It appears as a large, round sphere with horizontal bands in shades of light brown, tan, and white. A bright white oval storm sits on the lower right side. A faint ring is visible alongside Europa, one of its satellites, which appears very bright with a star-shaped artifact.

The image is divided into four sections, each showing one of the gas giants against a black background.

Top left: Jupiter. It appears as a large, round sphere with horizontal bands in shades of light brown, tan, and white. A bright white oval storm sits on the lower right side. A faint ring is visible alongside Europa, one of its satellites, which appears very bright with a star-shaped artifact.

Top right: Saturn. It has a pale beige surface with soft horizontal shading. Surrounding it is a wide, bright ring system tilted diagonally. The rings look thin and sharply defined, with multiple subtle bands of light and dark.

Bottom left: Uranus. It appears as a smooth blue-green sphere with some whitish circular clouds around the pole that is facing the observer. Surrounding it is a bright circular ring system made up of thin white lines. The rings form a bright, symmetrical halo around the planet.

Bottom right: Neptune. It is a blue sphere with slightly brighter and darker circular features on its atmosphere. It also has a thin ring system, dimmer and less defined than Uranus’s in this image, appearing as a faint double oval around the planet.

Each planet has its name printed below it in white capital letters.
