Saturn Fly Around Target Name:   Saturn Produced by:   Grant L. Hutchison Date Released:  February 14, 1998 Related Document Saturn Download Options Name Type Width x Height x Frames Size vsaturn1.mpg MPEG 320 x 240 x ? 727K This animation shows Saturn during a southern hemisphere summer, with the fly around following the plane of Saturn's orbit, so that it dips above and below the rings. The view distance is about two ring diameters, with a view angle of approximately sixty degrees. The rings are modeled from two populations of particles - large, back-scattering and small, forward-scattering. The latter scatter predominantly in the blue wavelengths.
