Saturn Eclipsed the Sun from Cassini Orbiter Desk Mat

NASA's Cassini spacecraft hid behind Saturn, capturing a dramatic scene: the gas giant's majestic form, seven of its moons, and even a tiny, pale dot of Earth in the distance, all illuminated by the sun filtering through the rings. This unique vantage point, shielded from the sun's glare by Saturn itself, allowed Cassini's cameras to create a detailed panorama, revealing the intricate structures of the rings and the wonders of the Saturn system bathed in soft, diffused sunlight. - This image is was taken NASA for the public.
