Phenomenal Picture of Saturn

[Icaro]

This is from the Astronomy Picture of the Day website. Saturn is in between the Cassini spacecraft and the sun, so the craft is in Saturn's shadow. http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap110904.html

Click the picture on the website once, and then again in the new window..it'll enlarge to it's fullest size.

... and THAT is the "eighth dimension"

I love APOD.

Makes you wonder if all council planets have rings, representative of the circular state of being/completion.

[Gemini Wolf]

Maybe when the ET's finally reveal themselves we'll have some really awesome planetary shots.

Isn't this ironically telling -- "...almost ignorable pale blue dot of Earth."?

The hands that are immediate have to reach out to each other, I guess.

Wow! So beautiful! I feel we do not comprehend the true nature of the rings, all I can say is there is so much more than meets the eye about this planet.
