I didn't understand it neither Annmaria but thought someone would and that the pic was worthy of posting anyway!
Glad you liked it!

Re: Shot of the Day!

Thanks for the excellent link - the picture taken close to Saturn with earth far away - it isn't that small in reality - if that's any comfort

Re: Shot of the Day!

I don't know whether anyone who has viewed the Saturn photo, clicked on the "Discover The Cosmos" link, which appears just above the photograph, but doing so brings up a list of hundreds (if not thousands) of links to equally stunning astronomy related photo's.

Regards
Mike.

Thanks for that, Mike, I rather like this one, even though it's our own planet.
