If you zoom in you can see base camps.

This is awesome.  Is that Everest?

Base camps are at about 5:00 from the original view, can see blue things first, before zooming in.
:adios:

A Splendor Seldom Seen
NASA's Cassini spacecraft has delivered a glorious view of Saturn, taken while the spacecraft was in Saturn's shadow. The cameras were turned toward Saturn and the sun so that the planet and rings are backlit. (The sun is behind the planet, which is shielding the cameras from direct sunlight.) In addition to the visual splendor, this special, very-high-phase viewing geometry lets scientists study ring and atmosphere phenomena not easily seen at a lower phase.

Since images like this can only be taken while the sun is behind the planet, this beautiful view is all the more precious for its rarity. The last time Cassini captured a view like this was in Sept. 2006, when it captured a mosaic processed to look like natural color, entitled "In Saturn's Shadow." In that mosaic, planet Earth put in a special appearance, making "In Saturn's Shadow" one of the most popular Cassini images to date. Earth does not appear in this mosaic as it is hidden behind the planet.

Also captured in this image are two of Saturn's moons: Enceladus and Tethys. Both appear on the left side of the planet, below the rings. Enceladus is closer to the rings; Tethys is below and to the left.

This view looks toward the non-illuminated side of the rings from about 19 degrees below the ring plane.

Images taken using infrared, red and violet spectral filters were combined to create this enhanced-color view. The images were obtained with the Cassini spacecraft wide-angle camera on Oct. 17, 2012 at a distance of approximately 500,000 miles (800,000 kilometers) from Saturn. Image scale at Saturn is about 30 miles per pixel (50 kilometers per pixel).

High speed bullet pictures passing through various objects! It is almost impossible to capture a speeding bullet with your eye and the impact the bullet creates is even faster and happens within a blink of an eye.

It will be very much interesting to see how the objects look while breaking and shape it takes after hitting with a bullet.

That is pretty awesome but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't hoping for him to fly into a wall and then have the music abruptly stop.

Comet Lovejoy over Australia in 2011.

There is a decent chance that we'll see a bigger and better comet in the Northern 'sphere this fall!  :excited:

I could probably waste the next decade of my life on this.

I've been wanting a badass comet since Hale-Bopp came along. Oh man did young ww stare at that thing for hours. :D

I'll stay cautiously optimistic till we know for sure.

maybe if he would have been closer he could have saved those trees.
