Saturn Cloud Tops

Here is an animated version of what has become a classic scene depicted by astronomical artists - the view of Saturn’s rings seen from that planet’s own cloud tops. We are viewing the rings from somewhere north of the equator. They sprout from the horizon, arch overhead and disappear behind us. How I’d love to be able to witness a scene like this in real life.

Saturn: looks like heaven, sounds like hell.

[@chvjdoszczania]

It just scares me how big is this emptyness...

[@skodwardeSWF]

i love it because this is the only video of inside of Saturn I've saw

[@spaceboffin]

Many thanks for your kind comment. :-)

Skodwarde Gameing its a cgi animation saturn along with jupiter a gas giants no camera or human being could stand or even go against the winds of saturn jupiter and saturn have wind speed up to 1500 mph

[@HapNStance]

Very realistic. I will definitely share this one.

[@spaceboffin]

Thanks so much

[@4thArmoredVet]

Magnificent! Love the music, too.

[@AcousticTreat]

Loved this, thank you for your effort creating it

[@spaceboffin]

Thank you too for commenting. PLease share! Spread the word!

Next time we build a Saturn probe, it could really use at least some form of aerodynamic control. You might lose delta-V to the design, but it seems like these probes are always given fuel for way past their design lifetimes anyway.

Beautiful

Thanks for commenting.

You are Great at Animating! I wish i could be as good so i could make a video animation of the Pioneer 11 Mission to Jupiter And Saturn :I

[@spaceboffin]

Thanks. Please, please share the video if you like it that much. It's had very few views so far and only sharing can help. Cheers!

[@plutoniumlol]

Same with me.

It would be really cool if Cassini could send us some pictures like this on its way to crashing this fall.

[@spaceboffin]

Or fly through the rings - even better!

[@SpinoGamingYT]

Swinde imposible radio signals will be destroyed upon arival into its atmospgere wind speeds are 459 times stronger that a massive cyclone on earth combind saturns wind speeds reach 1800 mph at its lowest if a camera were to look into saturn it would be destroyed in secconds without even coming close to its atmosphere

[@dpterminusreal]

@@SpinoGamingYT winds cant destroy radio signals though

[@SpinoGamingYT]

@@dpterminusreal Completely forgot about this comment. Damn I was stupid. "Radio signals destroyed". My apologies to anyone who read that.

[@Basileclimbing]

Hie, I would like to use an extract of this beautiful video for one of my french youtube video about Saturn, it would be a great honor if you accept to let me use it because you are only a few talented people to have done something like that and I really need one of it. Of course, if you accept, I will put a screenshot of your channel over the extract and a link to your works in my description. Thanks in advance.

Isn't the color of Saturn's atmosphere supposed to be sky blue?

[@markosdelosrios333]

Beautiful if we could have cloud cities under the horizon like bespin

[@SylkaChan]

Would GIMP be accurate?

This is literally what I invision heaven as, if only it's wind speeds weren't so high then cassini could of take pics of what it really looks like

[@dominiquejoelevangelio3035]

Wow saturn is beautiful inside its just like heaven

[@SylkaChan]

We should visit a gas giant and see what the planet looks like from the top of the clouds, maybe even dive in for a while.

[@jeremyhunter5562]

@@SylkaChan If only we could. It's completely impossible.

[@bruhpatrick1822]

looks like bespin

[@nathanielolaer2389]

I wish there would be a real footage

[@spaceboffin]

So do I!

[@FirstNameLastName-gu1mu]

When cassini crashes we will see how it really looks.

[@dpterminusreal]

this kinda aged like milk

[@chahatduhan4766]

is this real

[@spaceboffin]

It's a computer animation

[@SpinoGamingYT]

chahat duhan if it were real it would be imposible saturn along with jupiter are gas giants a camera the size of earth wouldnt even survive the wind speeds on these planets the wind speeds on saturn and jupiter can reach up to 1800 mph
