CassiniтАЩs Visual and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer captured this view of SaturnтАЩs north pole. The most prominent features include a bright reddish hexagon, which represents a clearing in the clouds that allows us to see some 47 miles (75 km) below the bright clouds seen at visible wavelengths, and a bluish aurora created when charged particles trapped in SaturnтАЩs magnetic field excite high-altitude molecules.
