Saturn is a very interesting planet. :)

Just curious but if the light is being generated by the planet then why the shadow?

It doesn't emit that much light. The red/black part is the night-side, so the shadow of the planet is visible on the rings as the Sun's shining from the left.

IIRC, it's a mixture of infrared image and.. err.. something else. Probably magic. :hmmm:

Because there is still sunlight in the image.
