Saturn (APOD 16 Oct 2006)
Anyone know what the strange whispy streaks are which are not rings? They look almost like aurorae ![Question :?:](./images/smilies/icon_question.gif)

What about that nightside equatorial dark band?
I'm thinking the light reflected from the more-outer rings is shaded by the "inner-more" rings, leaving the thin shadow line between the two hemispheres' ring-glow reflections, which gradually recede with increasing lattitude. Who'd have guessed it?
A darned nice picture, Cassini team!
