Sweet Ass Picture

"Taken by Cassini, this is a photo of Saturn directly in line with the sun. What is amazing is how much scatter from the rings illuminates the night side of the planet. What a view that must be in the night sky from near the surface!

Meanwhile, that itty bitty dot at ten-o-clock on the rings is Earth."

Very impressive if that is real...it almost looks computer generated? Maybe that's just because it looks so cool.

Thank you, Mervhage!

And...WOW! :shock:

Yeah, it does look fake. But what the hell do I know? Either way, I think it's my new background for my PC at work. :wink:

Thanks, Merv!

No problemo.

I'm sure it's real. The website where I found the link would indicate if it were fake.

The pic is hosted at nasa.gov, so it likely is real, it just looks too awesome to be real!

Holy chit, just noticed it wasn't even showing full size for me, It's got like friggin 3000x6000 resolution! :shock:
