This is actually from 2009, but was just posted again on Facebook and is a stunning view across Saturn’s rings as seen by the Cassini spacecraft. The level of detail is incredible as the rings are illuminated edge-on during that year’s equinox. Cassini is getting very close-up views of the rings again now as it completes its final few orbits before the mission ends on September 15. Image processing by Kevin M. Gill. Larger versions here.
