117-below-saturns-rings-dixon – A view from deep within Saturn’s upper atmosphere looking upward through layers of ammonia ice clouds toward the ring system. The sun appears as a brilliant point of light, partially diffused by the rings, which span across a pale blue sky in massive, luminous arcs. The intricate cloud structures in the foreground provide a sense of scale and depth within the gaseous environment of the giant planet. The sun blazes briefly through the Cassini Division of Saturn's rings. acrylic on illustration board, 1980
