Dear Steve Cannon / Tribes, This is the highest resolution version of the photo of Saturn that appeared recently in The Times that I could find online. It is from NASA’s website. http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/pia17172

NASA explains that it is a composite mosaic assembled from 141 wide-angle images and taken over a 4 hour period on July 19, 2013 from the Cassini-Huygens spacecraft. The spacecraft was launched from Earth in 1997 to study the Saturn system specifically.

The second picture is a detail which shows our planet Earth as a speck, but clearly visible towards the lower right of the main subject.

Wow !!!

Here Comes The Sun, written by George Harrison and recorded on The Beatles’ Abbey Road was to be included on The Voyager Golden Record but rights of usage were withheld by then license holders of the recording, EMI. Otherwise all 4 then living members of the group had consented to the song’s usage on Voyager spacecraft.
