Hubble Just Took an Astonishingly Detailed Image of Saturn

What a cool planet! Definitely the coolest looking one. Looks like Earth using a hoola-hoop! They must be in great shape on that planet. Seriously though, one of the greatest planetary, celestial photos I've ever seen.
 
I think the picture with some of Saturn's moon circled indicates that this is a composite of three photos taken with three specific blue, green and red filters using the Wide Field Camera 3 (WCF3). Since Saturn is quite bright, particularly through the Hubble, the exposure time is probably very short.

Very nice - I have been watching Jupiter nightly with my spotting scope - the moons are very visible.
