Saturn and its rings. The planet appears as though it is tilted backward, appearing to reveal the underside of its rings. Overall Saturn is yellow with bands of red, yellowish-brown, light orange, pink, and blue.

Saturn in Visible Light

As NASA's Cassini spacecraft hurtled its way toward a July 1, 2004 rendezvous with Saturn, the Hubble Space Telescope snapped breathtaking views of the solar system's most photogenic planet. This image, taken on March 22, 2004, is so sharp that many individual ringlets are visible in Saturn's ring plane.
