Six Saturnian wonders in one frame: Janus, a moon that gravitationally dances w/ another; Pandora, near a weaved F ring; Enceladus, a waterworld gushing spurts into space; Rhea, Saturn's second largest moon; Mimas, the "Death Star"; and Saturn's rings. Wow.

Also, a Moment about why the F ring is cool, and some GIFs I put together from @CassiniSaturn data that show it's weaved awesomeness and it's moon Prometheus: twitter.com/i/moments/8639…
*its and *its!! Dammit this is one of my biggest pet peeves and somehow I let that slide, TWICE. 😐
