The Turbulent North

Jupiter may have a much sharper contrast to its colourful clouds, but I have a real soft spot for Saturn's pastel hues, as displayed rather nicely in this Cassini image.

Just visible towards the top, the last vestiges of Saturn's blue north. It'd be interesting to see if the south pole acquires a similar tone when it enters winter...
