Saturn
The ringed planet's golden cloud bands, mapped from Cassini and Voyager imagery — sorry, the rings don't fold.
Drag to spin — this is what yours looks like folded.
About this globe
Saturn's cloud tops in true color, assembled by planetary-image expert Björn Jónsson from 56 Cassini images of the southern hemisphere (2004) and Voyager 2 coverage of the north. The bands are jet streams like Jupiter's, but softened under a high haze of ammonia ice.
Saturn is the solar system's most muted giant — pale butterscotch bands instead of Jupiter's loud stripes. The honest caveat: the rings live in the box, not on the globe.
How the data was captured
Stitched from Cassini spacecraft images taken through color filters in September 2004, with the northern hemisphere filled in from Voyager 2's 1981 flyby — calibrated, reprojected, and blended into a seamless cylindrical map.
