Mimas in Blue
Here's a stunning photo of the ice moon Mimas, with a background of Saturn's rings. The photo was taken by the Cassini spacecraft.
Amazing.

I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891 -

Nope. That's Saturn. Just compare the pic with the second one where you see the rings on the bottom of the image.Originally posted by DanS

My bad. You're right.
