I love this image. It is Saturn's moon, Mimas as photographed by the Cassini spacecraft.

More about this photograph

Where is RR to come in and bitch about it being from Digg.

He seems to be missing a lot of Digg threads.

nah, it is just easy to remember when star wars freaks get all worked up about something. not saying you are star wars freak or worked up...but when it originally came out people where.

it even ran on the front page of cnn.com. there is a better photo somewhere, of just the moon isolated.

those events tend to stick out for some reason.

I guess I just think it's lame when a certain user posts content from digg.

and has been pointed out, this is a clear case for a timeline jpg.

Ah, so you admit to trolling one particular person. I see.

FYI, this link hit the front page of Digg yesterday.

Are you baiting me? I'm glad I have made an impression with you. You now associate me when you think of Digg. that's cool.
