Last week, the Cassini-Huygens spacecraft took high resolution shots  
of Saturn during it's equinox. This equinox occurs only every 15  
years or so when the plane of the rings is aligned with the direction  
of the sun. This allows us to see the rings in 3D, as shadows point  
out objects sticking out of the ringplane.

Only a few of the images have been made public but they are really  
high-res so unless you have a really fast computer, I recommend  
looking at the "Quarter Size" photos.

Enjoy!
