I think that if I hadn't become a top male fashion model I'd likely have become an astronomer.

As explained there, the colours represent different ring particle sizes.

Originally posted by xsWell, thanks a lot... I didn't mean to put down eagles54 or anything, just wanted to help people find the information, as there obviously was at least one person who didn't know there was some explanatory text. Not everyone is into astronomy and knows the APOD.
Not to worry mate!
You only attracted the anal retentive error detectives
Anybody worth his/her search salt could find the rest.
BTW, do you know the EPOD (Earth Science Picture of the Day)? The link is http://epod.usra.edu/ Today's picture is not that great, just a normal 22° halo, but they sometimes have really good stuff.
