2. oops, on further inspection it certainly isnt:

   “This marvelous panoramic view was created by combining a total of 165 images taken by the Cassini wide-angle camera over nearly three hours on Sept. 15, 2006. The full mosaic consists of three rows of nine wide-angle camera footprints; only a portion of the full mosaic is shown here. Color in the view was created by digitally compositing ultraviolet, infrared and clear filter images and was then adjusted to resemble natural color.”

   oh well. they should give a picture which resembles what it might look like to the human eye. or is that what they are doing in the first place?
