I was gonna post this a few days ago, but I forgot. I think this is perhaps one of the coolest pics of Saturn so far. The probe is RIGHT THERE next to Saturn. Breathtaking.

Direct link to the pic here.

I'm a science nut. I have NASA's Astronomy Picture of the Day for my homepage which is where half my stuff come from. There's just been a string of awesome pics lately on the Astronomy page.

Sometimes there's nifty science stuff going on at Slashdot.

I've been watching that Astronomy Picture of the Day thing for so many years now, I can't remember when I started. I think it was one of the first places I routinely visited on that newfangled thing the 'internet'.
