Here's a link to an amazing composite photograph taken by Cassini of Saturn eclipsing the sun. The fist image is a totally unedited shot that was made up from 165 images taken by Cassini.

Wow! You really get a unique view of the rings. They stand out with all of that sunlight filtering through and reflecting off of them. Our universe certainly is a beautiful place.

It's a fake.
There is no spaceflight possible.
All done in an art studio.

Oh yeah, I forgot, and they tied tiny little strings to every particle of dust during the "moon landings" so they would appear to be under the influence of the moon's gravity, not the earth's, where it was obviously all filmed.

And it's 2 billion miles away. Amazing that we can photograph it and have color prints in less than an hour.

Why all are so exceptical about this photo? Hey in 1978 Vogager 2 took many shots like this one ,my eyes are tire to see photos of Marth ,Jupiter , and saturn as this one( I got CD 650 Mb Fully shots of space photos) I can't post none of the due to they have copyright but if could show you an images of Jupiter ,you could fall from your chair..,Now Cassini its much more sofisticated than Pioneer or Vogager ,You wold be surprise what do I see with a 12 inch reflector, inside of a very dense atmosfere, Rings many many satelites,Beatiful colour and details at 1.2 millons of kilometers, saturn Its big enough that even from the earth you can see beutiful details of it.
Remember the space its empty ,Images token
