Taken by Cassini, this is a photo of Saturn directly in line with the sun.
What is amazing is how much scatter from the rings illuminates the night side of the planet.
What a view that must be in the night sky from near the surface!

Beautiful picture.
Thanks Hazel.
Have set it as desktop and along with the Zune theme looks pretty darn snazzy.
can you get a better quality version somewhere
If you set it's position as "center" it comes up OK.
Default setting was set at "stretch" and it don't look any good at all.
I am fascinated by pictures like this - especially ones of Mars.
Any idea where I can find more 'real' pictures like this (as apposed to generated images) ?
