This is an approximate true color view of Saturn. Saturn's north polar hexagon stands out prominently while the rings encircle the planet.
This composite is made of images that were taken by Cassini's camera system, the Imaging Science Subsystem (ISS) on December 21, 2014 and received on Earth December 22, 2014. The camera was pointing toward SATURN at approximately 2,021,235 miles (3,252,862 kilometers) away, and the images were taken using the blue, methane band, and continuum band filters.

This is an RGB color composite of Titan from Cassini's latest flyby: Titan (T-88) Flyby that took place on November 29, 2012.
These images were taken on November 29, 2012 and received on Earth November 30, 2012. The camera was pointing toward TITAN at approximately 50,760 miles (81,690 kilometers) away, and the images were taken using the CL1, VIO, GRN, and RED filters.

This is a true color view of Saturn, snapped by the Cassini spacecraft. It shows Saturn casting a shadow on its rings. To the lower right, shadows of the rings are cast upon the planet.
This composite is made of images that were taken by Cassini’s camera system, the Imaging Science Subsystem (ISS) on March 27, 2016 and received on Earth March 28, 2016. The camera was pointing toward Saturn, and the images were taken using the red, green, and blue filters.

Color composite of Titan, from Rev171 highlighting its methane content. The reddish part of this image corresponds to more haze (the north polar hood). The detached haze layer seen in this recent image by Cassini. This observation of a gibbous-phase Titan was part of the "Titan Monitoring Campaign" (TMC).
These images were taken on September 04, 2012 and received on Earth September 07, 2012. The camera was pointing toward TITAN at approximately 1,275,131 miles (2,052,124 kilometers) away, and the images were taken using the CL1, CL2, BL1, MT1 and CB3 filters.

This is an approximate true color image of Titan's haze layers, taken by Cassini's camera system, the Imaging Science Subsystem, during Cassini's 95th encounter with Titan (also known as Titan 94 Flyby).
These images were taken on September 12, 2013 and received on Earth September 13, 2013. The camera was pointing toward TITAN at approximately 95,028 miles (152,933 kilometers) away, and the image was taken using the P0 CB1, UV3, and GRN filters.
