Saturn is a dark sphere with a bright outline. Its outermost rings are fuzzy and blue. The rings get crisper as you go inward toward the planet. These inner rings are yellow. Earth is a tiny speck of light in the background on the lower right, between the bright blue E ring and the faint but defined G ring.
