« on: December 06, 2008, 01:07:55 PM »
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

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.
