SATURN WITH EDGE-ON RINGS


(click on the image for a larger version)
  At the time of this photo, Saturn was displaying it's rings nearly edge-on.  This occurs every 15 years and makes for an interesting look to the normally spectacularly ringed planet.  The moon to the lower left in the image is Titan (Saturn's largest moon).
