Probably better than any Lucas, Spielberg or even Cameron production. These series of photographs taken by NASA's Cassini orbiter show us Saturn as it actually looks in HD. Truly amazing video composited from thousands of photos.

Below is a photo of Saturn from the dark side of the planet. Truly amazing visual.

Truly amazing to see humanity place it's 'eyes' out there in the solar system. We need more of that and less of the distressing negative things we seem to spend so much of our time doing to each other as a species.

Amazing, and I like the "death star" flybay at 1:35. I am curious about how it worked that orbit and the moon lineup was incredible, I am very curious about that.
