Alan, that really is a great photo! Eerie sort of cool! Cassini sure has been a great mission! I can remember always wondering if it would ever even make it though the ring-plain crossing.

Hey, did you hear that flute from Star Trek's Inner Light episode went for 48K? Man... Those are some die hard Trekkies!

I saw the biggest and brightest shooting star I've ever seen while I was in New York City on Saturday (at approx 8:30EST). It was bright red and white, and the visual lasted for about 10 seconds. I was amazed as a regular star gazer and Perseids Shower watcher. I thought shooting stars couldn't be seen in a major metro area, especially in the brightly lit Chinatown section of Manhattan. Is this just a random event to be passed over or is there anything noteworthy about it?

Wow cool! I remember sitting in elementry school watching Neil Armstrong and crew step on the moon for the first time way back in 69 and thinking wow, will any one ever go further. Well I guess cassini has gone further. Hope it keeps going.

This photo looks good but why does the red only seem to appear on the side of the planet in the dark is because of sunlight

Now that we know the sun isn't a gas sphere, that it has an iron core! What about Jupiter and Saturn? Are they really gas giant planets???

It is an incredible photo, I suppose that it will yield lots of information about the structure of the most beautiful planet of our system (in terms of looks). Great accomplishment of our space scientists. Congratulations amd my humble admiration for that beautiful job.
