I just saw this photo on Edge — The Third Culture, my very favorite science and culture online magazine. The Cassini satellite snapped it of Saturn. Steven Pinker gives more background.
Notice the speck of light (inset upper left) between the rings?
Say hello to home. And say a word of thanks to hard science for Revealing to us its Wonders.
Just had to share the most sublime digital photo, and the most miraculous feat performed by man on earth, I think I’ve ever seen. I need to start supporting the scientists more.
