The northern Polar region of Saturn is pictured great detail in this Voyager 2 image obtained Aug 25 from a range of 633, 000 kilometer (393, 00 miles). Two oval cloud systems some 250 km. (150 ml) across are visible at about 72 degrees north latitude. The bright spot in the center of the leftmost cloud is a convective cloud storm about 60 km. (37 mi.) across. The outer of material rotates in an anti-cyclonic sense. (Counter clockwise in the northern hemisphere). A similar cloud structure of comparable dimension appears at 55 degrees north (bottom center of the picture). The northern latitudes contain many bright, small-scale cloud-spots--0only a few tense of kilometers across -- Representative of convective cloud systems. Across the top of this image stretch several long, linear, wavelike features that may mark the northernmost east-flowing jet Saturn's atmosphere. In this orange-and Violet-image composite, the smallest features visible are about 16 km. (10 mi.) across. The Voyager project is managed for NASA by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif
