NASA's Voyager 2 took this photograph of Saturn on July 21, 1981,
when the spacecraft was 33.9 million kilometers (21 million
miles) from the planet.  Two bright, presumably convective cloud
patterns are visible in the mid-northern hemisphere and several
dark spoke-like features can be seen in the broad B-ring (left of
planet).  The moons Rhea and dione appear as blue dots to the
south and southeast of Saturn, respectively.  Voyager 2 made its
closest approach to Saturn on Aug. 25, 1981.  The Voyager project
is managed for NASA by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena,
Calif.  This image was converted directly from digital data to
GIF format.
