I was confused by what appeared to be weather in the top left hand side of the image. I asked someone what it was and he said that it was the shadow of the rings. However, he also said that the rings are sometimes tilted away from the orbital plane. That is why I initially thought it was weather instead of the shadow of the rings. The background of this image of Saturn makes it look like a dark dirty wall. I wonder why it doesn't appear brighter because the left-side of this image of Saturn is sunside.
