Saturn Rings: Colors
Scientific paper
The bicolored aspect of Saturn's rings was observed systematically in the Fall of 1993. It was found to be quite different from the effects of vignetting and of atmospheric refraction. It is produced by drift of the eye away from the optical axis of the telescope under conditions of small exit pupil, high magnification, and the use of certain filters. The entoptic phenomenon known as the Stiles-Crawford effect explains the bicolored aspect very well.
