I thought this was absolutely breathtaking. Cassini was positioned so Saturn was between it and the Sun. It's almost metallic looking! Like Saturn is a giant ball of mercury! I'm gonna clean it up with Photoshop and make it my desktop pic.
Here's a description from APOD.

Could you post the cleaned up version when you're done? I'd like it for my desktop too.

I put it in my desktop rotation right when it came out, without even seeing a need for photoshopping. It's a great picture.
