Today’s Astronomy Picture of the Day is a gorgeous shot of Saturn’s rings, seen edge-on as the Cassini probe dropped across the ring line. Note that this is a real space shot, not animation, not special effects. Looks like it came out of a Kubrick film, doesn’t it?






That is a totally awesome shot. Thank goodness for great technology, allowing us to travel places we’ll never see with our own naked eyes.
