Saturn, August 04-2018
This was one of the photos I liked the most about Saturn this year. The motif is simple as it gives it to perceive those fundamental details of the Lord of the Rings such as: Hexagon well detached as well as the eye of the mainemnet hurricane in the infrared photo. Easily visible and colorful colorful planet tracks.
Cassini's division well delineated as well as a glimpse of Encke's division, ring C visible in both color photo and IR photo.
But what caught my attention was the realization that the storm first seen by my great friend Maciel stretched out, seeming to run like lint.
Anyway, a photo to keep in my gallery of the 10 most of Saturn.

Lovely images, as always, Avani.

From here, it is just so darned low. And when it starts climbing in the sky the rings will be closing. Still, I suppose there is always 2033 ...

Thanks for posting.

Awesome! I think I see no fewer than 8 divisions.

I marked them out in this animated gif:  Divisions-larger.zip

I loved your GIF friend Ruud!
I saved to use later in the contest that I want to participate next year, I have some crazy ideas, LOL.
Thanks for all the comments from colleagues!
