Saturn's Infrared Glow
Visual and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer (VIMS) manipulated a picture taken from the Cassini spacecraft to show the colours that our eyes cannot process. The blue-green at the bottom right is a reflection of visible light onto Saturn from the surrounding clouds. On the other side, however, the night side of Saturn can be seen, and only appeared with the help of infrared light. The rings can even be seen here as well.
