Incredible Saturn Image From Cassini was created by Keith g

Whooaa!! One hell of a shot!, you've gotto see this, It's a recent shot taken of Saturn from the cassini spacecraft on it's way to the ringed planet. Just imagine what it will look like when it finally gets there! :D

Fantastic image! Such an unusual angle! I've literally just come in from observing Saturn. Whereas I'm only getting a tiny shadow of the disc on the rings, that shot really puts the whole thing into perspective! You really feel the 3D effect of the whole thing looking from underneath the rings like that and the long shadow cast on the rings really creates a dramatic effect. Thanks for sharing that like with us Keith!
