Cassini Photos of Saturn's Rings and Moons

Rocks Among the Rings. The Planetary Society's Emily Lakdawalla has compiled some of the loveliest imagery of Saturn's ring-and-moon system from Cassini. More on Saturn from the Planetary Society here. Also see the Cassini at Saturn photoset, from our very own kokogiak, and watch for updates on the latest Enceladus flyby.

Great post, brownpau! I am keeping the Planetary Society in my favepage now. If there was just some way we could get more of this and less of Rove/Bush on the blue, life would be grand.
