A false-color image of Saturn taken by Voyager 1 in 1980. The planet's cloud bands appear as orange, yellow, white, and a pale blue-green. The ring system is a darker golden-brown, and the portion circling behind the planet is partly in shadow. The image is tilted at a roughly 30 degree angle, with the equatorial ring system stretching from the lower left to upper right corners of the photo.

Voyager 1 discovered three new moons (Prometheus, Pandora, and Atlas) shepherding Saturn's A- and F-rings.
It also uncovered a wealth of new information about basic properties of Saturn's moon Titan, from size to atmospheric composition.
