The Cassini spacecraft continues to observe brightness variations along
the orbital direction within Saturn's B ring.
This view looks toward the unlit side of the rings from about 53 degrees
above the ringplane.
The image was taken in visible red light with the Cassini spacecraft
narrow-angle camera on Dec. 17, 2006 at a distance of approximately 1.3
million kilometers (800,000 miles) from Saturn. Image scale is 8
kilometers (5 miles) per pixel.
The Cassini-Huygens mission is a cooperative project of NASA, the European
Space Agency and the Italian Space Agency. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory,
a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, manages
the mission for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington, D.C. The
Cassini orbiter and its two onboard cameras were designed, developed and
assembled at JPL. The imaging operations center is based at the Space
Science Institute in Boulder, Colo.

Atlas and Pan emerge from the far side of Saturn. Light passing through
the upper reaches of the planet's atmosphere is refracted, or bent,
distorting the image of the rings beyond.
Pan (26 kilometers, or 16 miles across) is seen within the Encke Gap.
Atlas (32 kilometers, or 20 miles across) orbits just beyond the outer
edge of Saturn's A ring.
This view looks toward the unilluminated side of the rings from about 12
degrees above the ringplane. Shadows cast by the rings arc across the
planet toward the Cassini spacecraft.
The image was taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft
narrow-angle camera on April 12, 2007 at a distance of approximately 1.6
million kilometers (1 million miles) from Saturn. Image scale is 10
kilometers (6 miles) per pixel.

Open Space is chaotic, productive, and fun! There is no keynote speaker, no set schedule of workshops, no panel discussions, and no exhibit booths. Instead, anyone who wants to initiate a discussion on an issue of common concern and interest to women entreprenuers, writes it down on "The Marketplace of Ideas" during either registration or the coffee break. #galswithLEI facilitators will curate suggested topics and combine similar ideas to create several discussion groups. You will then self-organize into the discussion group of interest to you. And if, after being in a group you are no longer interested, you are free to wander over to another.
A whirlwind of activity is guided by a handful of simple Open Space principles:
Whoever comes are the right people.
Whatever happens is the only thing that could happen.
Whenever it starts is the right time.
When it is over it is over.
The International Space Station flew over this morning a little before sunrise. In this 30 sec exposure it passes to the west of Jupiter.

Although the sun is on the other side of Saturn in this dramatic image, some sunlight scatters through the uppermost part of the atmosphere to reach the Cassini spacecraft's cameras.This image was taken at a high phase, or Sun-Saturn-spacecraft, angle of 172 degrees -- meaning Cassini was on the dark side of the planet at the time. Light passing through the atmosphere creates the bright arc seen from the top to the bottom of the image.Saturn's rings, at middle right in the image, show the shadow of the planet being cast upon them. Just below the center of the image the light passing through Saturn's atmosphere is blocked from Cassini by the B ring.The sun is now shining on the northern side of the rings, so the shadow of the rings on the lit side of the planet (away from Cassini) was cast down onto the southern limb of the planet, making the bright arc appear dark near the bottom middle of the image. The presence of the Cassini Division is illustrated in the small bit of scattered light it has allowed through near the bottom of the image.For another dramatic view of Saturn in eclipse, see PIA08329.This view looks toward the northern, sunlit side of the rings from just above the ringplane.The image was taken in visible green light with the Cassini spacecraft wide-angle camera on Feb. 13, 2010. The view was obtained at a distance of approximately 373,000 kilometers (232,000 miles) from Saturn.

I had to do really harsh processing on this, unfortunately. This is a single raw frame, which is why the quality of this is quite low, but low results are better than no results what so ever.

Pass of the International Space Station on 16.12.15 day after Major Tim Peake's arrival on the station.
But let there be spaces in your togetherness and let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another but make not a bond of love: let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.
-- Khalil Gibran
