For those of you who don't know, listverse cranks out a new list of some random topic every day. Recently, they had a bunch of really cool space pics.

Saturn from Cassini:



This stunning image of Saturn was captured by the incredible Cassini spacecraft in 2006 as it passed behind the ringed gas giant in the 9th year of its mission. Even more incredible it that the pale-blue dot of the Earth can be seen in this image just above and to the left of the bright, main rings.

first one has had the brightness cranked up or 'enhanced' or whatever i think. the original (you will see it in the above presentation) is more realistic but equally impressive
