*prettyphoto* of Saturn's rings taken by Cassini probe, with the moon Mimas against the rings. Nature is so beautiful. *wistfulsigh*. Want to get back into doing astronomy again.

Dah! Don't be fooled - it's computer generated! They just copied and pasted that "moon" to make it look more realistic. They haven't even bothered to remove the mistake they made in the directino of the lines at the bottom.

Here's a more realistic one (http://www.davidjmiller.net/soverslg.jpg) ;-)

And this one is just cute:



Ok so perhaps that one is less realistic than the original one... ;-)
