Taken by NASA's Cassini robotic orbiter, the shot was captured from the dark side of Saturn as the Sun's bright rays illuminated every piece of dust and debris circling the planet. Cassini has offered astronomers a never-before-seen look at Saturn and revealed more information about the planet than any craft before it. The craft has taken so many pictures of the ringed wonder that they were recently made into a short flyby film (see my diary) that looks like it was created by George Lucas rather than a robotic space explorer.

listen to the sound of Saturn [link]
you can load the sound by pressing on the words
"new audio clip".
Doesn't it remind the sound of the needle on the old vinyl disc?
