we have a funny picture thread, but sometimes a picture is so awe inspiring yo wish to share it, so I created this thread to solve the problem.
Oh and if there's a story behind it, do a direct link to the picture

if you look just above the left tip of Saturns main rings you can seen a small bright dot, that is in fact Earth
sorry for double post and giant picture
Oh wow, I see it.
How did they get that pic?
from the NASA page
This marvelous panoramic view was created by combining a total of 165 images taken by the Cassini wide-angle camera over nearly three hours on Sept. 15, 2006. The full mosaic consists of three rows of nine wide-angle camera footprints; only a portion of the full mosaic is shown here. Color in the view was created by digitally compositing ultraviolet, infrared and clear filter images and was then adjusted to resemble natural color.
The mosaic images were acquired as the spacecraft drifted in the darkness of Saturn's shadow for about 12 hours, allowing a multitude of unique observations of the microscopic particles that compose Saturn's faint rings.

Oh I wants it.
Also, this is a good thread, there have been a number of times I have wished to post such pictures but been unable to fin a thread to do so.
I knew somewhere in the back of my mind we had such a thread, but it took some searching to find the venerable Stormcloud's ancient creation :)
How do you know where I live?? :o
Your brain loads directly onto our systems, don't you remember signing the cybernetics consent form? :P
:o :o :o
THROW THERMAL POD!
Nice picture, just thought I'd share it.
The Amish are clearly photoshopped in but oh well. :P

You know what, that's actually not too bad. :)
Thanks :) I was never the best at stuff like this.
I'm sure some people that saw my old Facebook picture would say the same about me. ;D

Poor horse, look at its face.
Horse: "I can see my house from up here."
That is the face of a horse who is not getting paid enough for this armadillo.
I have to admit the horse is clearly not happy with what's going on.
I'm concerned, though, about this depiction of dragonkind as malevolent and bestial. After all, as everyone knows, we are sentient, wise and kindly. You must just remember not to get between us and our hoards :P
What is it with dragons and gold? It's not like they can actually spend it.

Spend it??? Please don't use such words in my presence - that's almost as bad as
give it away :(
Gold is just so lovely and shiny, and it makes such a comfortable bed :)
This is pretty cool; last week's eclipse, with a fleet of TIE fighters.
