Saturn Eclipses the Sun?

In the Shadow of Saturn


Something you will never see from Earth, Saturn coming between you and the sun.

This used to be up on the wall in the Solar-Go-Round room at Chabot Space and Science Center, but when Bill Nye moved it, the picture seems to have gone away.

For me, the coolest thing about this picture is that you can see Earth as a tiny dot between the bright and fuzzy rings to the left of the planet.

Great picture by Paolo from ISS

Aurora Borealis. Surreal!

I think this is particularly cool because it show how "3-D" the aurora really is.
