Natural color mosaic of planet Saturn and its main rings. Saturn sports differently colored bands of weather in this image. The mysterious six-sided weather pattern known as the hexagon is visible around Saturn's north pole. The golden tones dominated the southern hemisphere, where it was southern summer. But as the seasons have turned and northern spring is in full swing, the colors have begun to change in each hemisphere as well. Golden tones have started to dominate in the northern hemisphere and the bluish color in the north is now confined to a tighter circle around the north pole. The southern hemisphere has started getting bluer, too.
