Default Incredible picture of Saturn
This can be a actual picture (even though it is improved a little in Photoshop). Explanation: Within the shadow of Saturn, sudden miracles seem. The robotic Cassini spacecraft today orbiting Saturn recently drifted in large planet's shadow for around 1-2 hours and looked straight back toward the eclipsed Sun. Cassini found a watch unlike every other. First, the night part of Saturn sometimes appears to be partially illuminated by light reflected from a unique majestic band system. Next, the bands them-selves look black when silhouetted against Saturn, but very brilliant when seen from Saturn and slightly scattering daylight, in-the above high shade image. Saturn's bands illuminate therefore much that new rings were found, though they're hard-to see in the aforementioned picture. Visible in magnificent depth, nevertheless, is Saturn's E ring, the ring developed by the recently found ice-fountains of the-moon Enceladus, and the outermost ring visible above. Much within the distance, apparent on the picture left just above-the bright primary rings, may be the nearly ignorable pale orange dot of Earth. http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap061016.html
