"This swirling maelstrom of clouds is what was seen over Saturn's north 
pole yesterday, November 27, by NASA's Cassini spacecraft. This is a raw 
image, acquired in polarized light, from a distance of 238,045 miles 
(383,097 kilometers)... all I did was remove some of the hot pixels that 
are commonly found on Cassini images taken with longer exposures."
