Bright ringlets and dark gaps at the inner edge of the C ring sweep across
this scene. The C ring contains numerous "plateaus" -- broad ring regions
that are bright and surrounded by fainter material.
The image was taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft
narrow-angle camera on July 23, 2006. The view was captured from 14
degrees below the ring plane and at a distance of approximately 272,000
kilometers (169,000 miles) from Saturn. Image scale is 1 kilometer (0.6
mile) per pixel.

The Cassini spacecraft looks to the night side of Saturn and its rings for
a view that includes Dione.
Dione (1,123 kilometers, or 698 miles across) is in the top right of the
image. Tiny Pandora (81 kilometers, or 50 miles across) can also be seen
outside the F ring near the center of the image. Dione was overexposed in
this image and has been dimmed by a factor of seven.
This view looks toward the sunlit, northern side of the rings from about
12 degrees above the ringplane.
The image was taken with the Cassini spacecraft wide-angle camera on Sept.
22, 2009 using a spectral filter sensitive to wavelengths of near-infrared
light centered at 742 nanometers. The view was obtained at a distance of
approximately 1.3 million kilometers (808,000 miles) from Saturn. Image
scale is 72 kilometers (45 miles) per pixel.

Printed out perfectly, gears mesh so well! Very fun little toy to play with, but also a great demonstration of how you can actually print very usable gears with 3D printing!
The planets revolve in the same direction around the sun, this constant explosion of a billion H-bombs. A Mercury year lasts !è days, but for Pluto it takes 249 years.

These side-by-side views of a star seen through Saturn's densely populated
B ring show marked contrast between the region where spokes -- the ghostly
radial features periodically seen in the B ring -- are produced and
regions where no spokes are seen.
In the view at left, the ring displays an uneven grainy texture, with a
great deal of variability in brightness along the direction of ring
particle motion. In the view at right, the ring is far smoother and more
uniform along the same longitudinal direction.
Ring scientists on the Cassini Imaging Team are studying images such as
these to understand the processes by which spokes are created. This
difference in appearance from one location to another on the ring could
provide the researchers with helpful insights into the features'
formation.
The views were acquired about half an hour apart as the Cassini spacecraft
looked toward the unlit side of the rings from about 33 degrees above the
ringplane.
The images were taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft
narrow-angle camera on Sept. 26, 2006 at a distance of approximately
515,000 kilometers (320,000 miles) from Saturn and at a
Sun-Saturn-spacecraft, or phase, angle of 102 degrees. Image scale is
about 3 kilometers (2 miles) per pixel.

Never like to admit and research this subject of ancient aliens.....leave it almost an year back... but still it reminds of that Vishnu....not sure what he cooks .....and why........what's the ending chapter of his created story...
This sequence of images shows a faint arc of material in Saturn's G ring,
a tenuous ring outside the main ring system. These images were each taken
about 45 minutes apart. During this time, the arc (slightly brighter than the ring
itself) moves around the outer edge of the ring.
The arc is visible on the lower part of the ring in the first image, just beneath
the ansa (or outer edge). In the second image the arc is easily seen on the
outer edge, and then faintly just above the outer edge in the third image.
What makes this part of the G ring brighter than other parts is not clear.
However, the existence of this arc might hold clues about how this ring
was formed and where the material which makes up this ring comes from.
These three images were taken in polarized near-infrared light using the
Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on May 24, 2005, at a distance
of approximately 1.7 million kilometers (1.1 million miles) from Saturn.
Resolution in the original images was about 97 kilometers (60 miles) per
pixel. The images have been contrast-enhanced to aid visibility.

Overexposed Mimas stands starkly against the disk of Saturn as the dim
shadow of Epimetheus is captured through the C ring in the planet's rings
(right of center at the bottom of the image). In reality, Mimas orbits in
the same plane as the rings; it is Cassini's viewing geometry that tricks
our eyes.
The image was taken in blue light with the Cassini spacecraft wide-angle
camera on Nov. 26, 2008 at a distance of approximately 915,000 kilometers
(569,000 miles) from Mimas and at a Sun-Mimas-spacecraft, or phase, angle
of 28 degrees. Image scale is 55 kilometers (34 miles) per pixel.

The highly reflective moon Enceladus appears as a bright dot beyond a crescent Saturn in this Cassini image.Enceladus (504 kilometers, or 313 miles across) is visible above the ringplane to the left of the center of the image, and the moon is farther away from Cassini than the planet is. 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 Oct. 23, 2009 using a spectral filter sensitive to wavelengths of near-infrared light centered at 728 nanometers. The view was obtained at a distance of approximately 2.8 million kilometers (1.7 million miles) from Enceladus and 2.6 million kilometers (1.6 million miles) from Saturn.

Incredible swirling details in Saturn's northern clouds can be seen in
this dazzling view. Shadows cast by the rings embrace the northern
hemisphere.
The view looks toward the unilluminated side of the rings from about 16
degrees above the ringplane.
The image was taken with the Cassini spacecraft wide-angle camera on June
10, 2007 using a spectral filter sensitive to wavelengths of infrared
light centered at 939 nanometers. The view was acquired at a distance of
approximately 1.3 million kilometers (800,000 miles) from Saturn. Image
scale is 72 kilometers (45 miles) per pixel.

Milo raps some Beastie Boys:
If you try to knock me you'll get mocked.
I'll stir fry you in my wok.
Your knees with quake and your fingers pop.
Like a pinch on the neck from Mr. Spock.
The Cassini spacecraft spies Enceladus and Epimetheus near the limb of Saturn.
Geologically active Enceladus is 505 kilometers (314 miles) across; smaller, more
irregularly shaped Epimetheus is 116 kilometers (72 miles) across.
This view looks toward the unilluminated side of the rings from less than a degree above
the ringplane.
The image was taken in polarized green light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle
camera on Oct. 27, 2007. The view was acquired at a distance of approximately 1.4
million kilometers (857,000 miles) from Enceladus. Epimetheus is 91,000 kilometers
(57,000 miles) farther away from Cassini here. Image scale is about 8 kilometers (5 miles)
per pixel on both moons.

Saturn's southern hemisphere is glimpsed through the gossamer veil of its
rings. Ring shadows adorn the low northern latitudes.
This view looks toward the unilluminated side of the rings from about 22
degrees above the ringplane. Images taken using red, green and blue
spectral filters were combined to create this natural color view. The
images were acquired with the Cassini spacecraft wide-angle camera on Dec.
16, 2007 at a distance of approximately 1.5 million kilometers (908,000
miles) from Saturn. Image scale is 84 kilometers (52 miles) per pixel.

The multitude of grooves for which Saturn's rings are famed, clumps in
the F ring, and three Saturnian moons are visible in this image. Moons
visible in the image are: Mimas (398 kilometers or 247 miles across)
above the rings at left; Epimetheus (116 kilometers or 72 miles across)
just above the A ring; Enceladus (499 kilometers or 310 miles across)
near upper right. The image was taken with the Cassini narrow angle
camera on May 10, 2004, at a distance of 27.1 million kilometers (16.8
