what is saturn doing?

Hi everyone,
Im sort of new to this forum even though I registered last year.

One of my nerdy hobbies is to look at the cassini raw image site, and find images taken with red, green and blue filters, then combine those images to make a colour image. Today I found a set of interesting images of Saturn, where Saturn looked like it was spewing something into space.

The image is attached to this post (i think). It was made from these three images: red, green, blue.

Since this forum is filled with so many super smart people, does anyone know what is happening?

I am not gonna say that I know what it is but it looks very similar to my earlier images taken with my collapsible DOB prior to putting a shroud on it with the exception of the main jet.
A bit over exposed so the possiblity of glare is quite possible. Could be a gas jet thrusting out too from storms or something.
