HST observes Double Saturn moon transit.

[3488]

Quite amazing.

On Tuesday 24th February 2009 Hubble Space Telescope observed Titan & Mimas, with Enceladus & Dione appearing close to the left limb, just above the rings. Note Titan's giant shadow near Saturn's North Pole.

"All these worlds are yours to discover. Except Europa. Attempt no landing there!"

Sorry, had a beer or four and got carried away. Excellent images. Amazing even, especially huge planetoid sized moon Titan hanging there and casting a equally huge shadow on Saturn.

And of course those words referred to Europa, one of Jupiter's satellites

Man, when I look at that, it just looks like small little balls that are in front of eachother but in reality they're... well, too large for one man to comprehend.

Beautiful
