The rings split the planet in two in this Cassini spacecraft view of a crescent Saturn.Saturn's moon Tethys (1,062 kilometers, or 660 miles across) is the small dot on the left of the image, below the rings. This view looks toward the northern, sunlit side of the rings from just above the ringplane.The image was taken with the Cassini spacecraft wide-angle camera on Nov. 28, 2009 using a spectral filter sensitive to wavelengths of near-infrared light centered at 752 nanometers. The view was obtained at a distance of approximately 2.5 million kilometers (1.5 million miles) from Saturn and at a Sun-Saturn-spacecraft, or phase, angle of 103 degrees. Image scale is 143 kilometers (89 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.

For about ten minutes last Tueday, both the International Space Station and the Space Shuttle could be seen traveling across the night sky. The Space Shuttle had recently just undocked from the Space Station, so they both appeared as two dots traveling quickly across the horizon.
I met my friend John Blakney in downtown Little Rock to try to get some shots of the ISS and the Space Shuttle. We set up on the stage of the Riverfront Amphitheater, which provided a good view of the Junction Bridge. The plan was to get a shot of the ISS and the Shuttle as they streaked across the sky high above the bridge. We waited as it got dark, enjoying a cool night (though the mosquitoes were a bit bad).
Around 8:13pm, the ISS and Space Shuttle appeared in the sky. They were as bright as stars, and moving quickly to the northwest. They soon moved above the Junction Bridge, but they were higher in the sky than what I had planned, so I tried to change my shot in the hopes of being able to capture them. I couldn't see the lights in the viewfinder, so I just guessed at where they would be at and tried to get a few shots. This is really the best of what I got.
The ISS and the Space Shuttle were moving fast - about 18,000 mph - so they quickly moved beyond the bridge to the north. After a few minutes, they faded back into the night sky.
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.

Cassini caught this intriguing view of a dark storm near the limb of
Saturn on Sept. 9, 2004. The image shows a great deal of detail in the
gas giant's turbulent atmosphere.
The bright triangle at right is an overexposed part of Saturn's A ring,
with the F ring faintly visible beneath.
The image was taken with the Cassini spacecraft narrow angle camera at a
distance of 8.8 million kilometers (5.5 million miles) from Saturn,
through a filter sensitive to wavelengths of infrared light. The image
scale is 104 kilometers (65 miles) per pixel. The image was magnified by
a factor of two and slightly contrast-enhanced to improve visibility of
features in the atmosphere.

Kitchen- with the space being empty- the potential buyer didn't know if a table would fit.
I put together this cute cafe style table and chairs to give the potential buyer a better visual of the size and space.
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.

Just felt like experimenting a little outside of my regular type of editing. Usually I try to make my photos a bit more realistic, but today I was feeling a little more "hyperreal" and this is the result....

Buy a bottle of milk (the fat version), get some food coloring and a little dishwasser soap. Poor the milk on a dinnerplate, add a few drops of the coloring and then take a little pin with a little bit of soap and pinch the milk with the soap. Let it rest and start shooting!

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.
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.
