Explanation:
Take a picture of Saturn
in the sky tonight.
You could capture a view like this one.
Recorded just last month looking toward the south,
planet Earth and ruins of the ancient
temple of Athena at
Assos, Turkey are in the foreground.
The Moon rises at the far left of the frame and
Saturn is the bright "star" at the upper right, near Virgo's
alpha star Spica
(picture with
labels).
If you do take a picture of Saturn or
wave at Saturn
and take a picture, you can
share
it online and submit it to the
Saturn Mosaic Project.
Why take a picture tonight?
Because the Cassini spacecraft will be
orbiting Saturn and
taking a
picture of you.
Interplanetary News: Photo Op from Cassini and MESSENGER - just be sure to smile and wave.
