SATURN AS NEVER SEEN BEFORE—

“Surely one of the most gorgeous sights the solar system has to offer, Saturn sits enveloped by the full splendor of its stately rings,” NASA....

This picture was done January 19, 2007 by the Cassini spacecraft at a distance of 764,000 miles from the planet. It is a mosaic of 36 images with a scale where each pixel equals 44 miles.

The planet is excessively bright because the exposure was adjusted for optimum detail in the rings.

Savor one of our finest, celestial delights!
