There are some gorgeous crescent saturn images coming down in the raws at the moment.
You can really see how oblate saturn is. |

The oblation is what struck me, too.
What are we seeing in the images that alternate with with crescent shots? I assume it's the cloud tops, and the black band at the bottom is the shadow of the rings or the rings themselves. -------------------- |
