Saturn at Night


What's really neat about this picture is that while the light on earth at night is caused by either man-made lights or the reflection of the sun's light off of the moon, the light of Saturn at night is caused by the reflection on the sun's light off of Saturn's rings.
This image was taken by the Cassini, who began orbiting Saturn in 2004 and will continue to do so util 2008.
