Colors of Saturn's mid-sized icy satellites

Colors of Saturn's mid-sized icy satellites
Colors of Saturn's mid-sized icy satellites These maps of the colors of Saturn's icy moons were produced by Paul Schenk. The data is from Cassini images captured through infrared, green, and ultraviolet filters, so it covers a broader region of the electromagnetic spectrum than the human eye can see. On each map, the trailing hemisphere is on the left; the anti-Saturn point is in the middle; and leading hemisphere is on the right. NASA / JPL-Caltech / SSI / Paul Schenk
