It's an enhanced-color image, so probably not, although it's possible. I'd have take a look at the non-enhanced version to draw any sort of conclusion.

It may be just an optical illusion caused by the ring shadow.

Am I imagining things, or in the picture of May 4 2005 (APOD) we can see some ringshine on the night part of Saturn?. It is only visible in my LCD monitor, but should be easily visible with some image processing.

Greetings from Mexico.

In today's APOD (5/4/05) Saturn's cloud bands on the bottom appear to be roughly parallel to ring plane, but the clouds bands on the top appear to be skewed. Why is that?
