That's an amazing picture.  The backlighting effect is pretty darned cool, too.

I've started a habit of checking NASA's Astronomy Picture Of The Day, and one of my favourites is another Cassini picture of Saturn in eclipse: http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap061016.html  If you look carefully towards the left, you can just make out Earth in one of the bigger gaps between the rings.

Good stuf!

NASA does have some great pictures.  No Photoshop ether, just color enhancements.  To add to the 2001 comments, "My god, it's full of stars!"
