Is it the tiny white dot in the top ring?

Dr. Lisa said...

Nope - you need to look below the rings!

It's easier to see on the Full Res picture. Less like a black pixel.

Dr. Lisa said...

I know, but that's what makes it so nifty! Such delicate beauty, but Saturn is so huge!

I made Saturn. I rent it out to the universe.

Dr. Lisa said...

We are all in your debt, dude.

It's teeny! At first I thought it was just dust on my monitor.

So maybe Greg can tell us what happened to the old Saturn?

Dr. Lisa said...

Big! Teeny!

Greg van Eekhout said...

Oh, I yield to Karen's J on that one.

David Moles said...

But even he doesn't know.
