What Color is Saturn? - Universe Today
WEBJul 2, 2008 · Some photographs of Saturn captured by NASA’s Cassini spacecraft make the planet look blue, similar to Uranus. But this is probably just because of how the light is scattering from Cassini’s...
Saturn Is Blue - NASA
WEBMar 23, 2008 · Saturn's northern hemisphere is a serene blue, more befitting of Uranus or Neptune, as seen in this natural color image from Cassini. Images obtained using red, green and blue spectral filters were combined to create this view.
Saturn's hexagon - Wikipedia
WEBSaturn's hexagon was discovered during the Voyager mission in 1981, and was later revisited by Cassini-Huygens in 2006. During the Cassini mission, the hexagon changed from a mostly blue color to more of a golden color. Saturn's south pole does not have a hexagon, as verified by Hubble observations.

NASA Cassini Spacecraft Provides New View of Saturn and Earth
WEBNov 12, 2013 · The new panoramic mosaic of the majestic Saturn system taken by NASA’s Cassini spacecraft, which shows the view as it would be seen by human eyes, was unveiled at the Newseum in Washington on Tuesday. Cassini’s imaging team processed 141 wide-angle images to create the panorama.
APOD: 2020 March 30 - The Colors of Saturn from Cassini
WEBThe northern hemisphere of Saturn can appear partly blue for the same reason that Earth's skies can appear blue -- molecules in the cloudless portions of both planet's atmospheres are better at scattering blue light than red. When looking deep into Saturn's clouds, however, the natural gold hue of Saturn's clouds becomes dominant.
Saturn’s Blue Cranium - Science@NASA
WEBSaturn's northern hemisphere is presently a serene blue, more befitting of Uranus or Neptune, as seen in this natural color image from Cassini. Light rays here travel a much longer path through the relatively cloud-free upper atmosphere.
