Feast Your Eyes on Saturn

A really nice picture of Saturn. 

Click the picture to go to the APOD site and read an interesting description.

While there, click the picture a couple times to get the high resolution version which can be visually explored in greater detail.


Did you notice the part about the Polar Hexagon ? Doesn't move with the planet...

    1. Opus, I agree of course. Cassini has been sending back some seriously good stuff for a while now. All of Saturn's moons, and Saturn itself (This is one of the best I've seen), so maybe a pictorial essay of those pics should come along soon. Cool stuff for folks who haven't see much of it.
