And what stunner's they are. Enceladus is gorgeous but Saturn eclipsing the Sun is now my desktop background. I was a bit puzzled by that disk in the centre of the image, I guessed it was some sort of mask to shield the optics from the sun, oh boy was I wrong, its Saturn itself.

And to quote Phil Plait...

And it never ends. There will always be more to find, more to explore, and more to learn. And it’s science that will take us there, propelled by our own imagination, our sense of wonder, and our desire to find things out.

Science: it works bitches.
