Another sensational shot from Cassini sent back today feauring the diminutive moon Mimas as it drifts along in its orbit against the backdrop of Saturn's northern latitudes. The long, dark lines on the atmosphere are shadows cast by the planet's rings.

I agree with you on space shots making great desktop images especially when they are as interesting as this one. Thanks for posting and sharing this one.

I remember how dissapointed I was with Cassini's first couple of images. They are spectacular now aren't they? There's a lot of detail in the tiny moon.

Ned Knott was shot and Sam Shott was not. So it is better to be Shott not shot than Knott shot, is it not?
So many of your NASA posts are wonderful, but this one gets the abstract in me extra high vote. I agree. Cool blues. Cool moon. Cool! ;)

I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn't say any other way - things I had no words for.
