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 an interesting look to the normally spectacularly ringed planet.  The moon to the lower left in the image is Titan (Saturn's largest moon).
