Saturn at Night
The Cassini spacecraft looked back at Saturn from the inner Solar System, capturing this view of its night side. The planet's rings cast a shadow across its face, a slender crescent lit by the Sun. We can't see this from Earth, but Cassini orbited Saturn for 13 years, giving us views like this one.
