SERENE IN BLUE

Serene blue hues highlight the view of Saturn's northern hemisphere from the Cassini spacecraft. Saturn's famous rings cast the dark shadows stretching across the frame with the cratered moon Mimas lurking at the lower left. This moon orbits within the outermost (and widest) ring of Saturn.


Meanwhile back on Earth, there is oor wee Alastair who is now one month old. It will have to be another day in the universe for opening eyes.
