This post is about Science Fact not Science Fiction.
NASA has released a new block of pictures of Saturn from its Cassini space probe which is currently orbiting the ringed gas giant.
“Finally, here are the views that we’ve waited years for,” said Dr. Carolyn Porco, Cassini imaging team leader at the Space Science Institute in Boulder, Colo. “Sailing high above Saturn and seeing the rings spread out beneath us like a giant, copper medallion is like exploring an alien world we’ve never seen before. It just doesn’t look like the same place. It’s so utterly breath-taking, it almost gives you vertigo.”
Get the whole story and more images at the NASA Cassini Site.
