This is an image of Saturn as taken by the hardy little Cassini spacecraft, which orbits the ringed planet and takes photos like this. This doesn't look real to me but apparently it is, so apparently I have a lot to learn about the universe. It's awesome being able to see the shadow of the planet on its "rings" which are not rings but space dust and rocks pulled into Saturn's orbit. As it's impossible from Earth to see Saturn in a crescent phase, it's nice to see it from the Cassini ship.
