                          Saturn in Infrared from Cassini   
         Image Credit: NASA, JPL-Caltech, SSI; Processing: Maksim Kakitsev   
      
      Explanation: Many details of Saturn appear clearly in infrared light.   
      Bands of clouds show great structure, including long stretching storms.   
      Also quite striking in infrared is the unusual hexagonal cloud pattern   
      surrounding Saturn's North Pole. Each side of the dark hexagon spans   
      roughly the width of our Earth. The hexagon's existence was not   
      predicted, and its origin and likely stability remains a topic of   
      research. Saturn's famous rings circle the planet and cast shadows   
      below the equator. The featured image was taken by the robotic Cassini   
      spacecraft in 2014 in several infrared colors. In 2017 September, the   
      Cassini mission was brought to a dramatic conclusion when the   
      spacecraft was directed to dive into ringed giant.
