Description: Belts and Zones on Saturn
(a)Cassini took this extremely high resolution image of Saturn in 2007. Details as small as 53 km (33 mi) across
can be seen. There is less swirling structure between belts and zones on Saturn than on Jupiter. (b) Combining
infrared and visible images, Cassini took this view of a hexagonal pattern of clouds that rotates much more
slowly than the surrounding belts and zones. The pattern’s origin is still under investigation
