Saturn's Rings by Sunlight | NASA Cassini
Color-composite of raw images acquired in visible light by NASA's Cassini spacecraft on Nov. 4, 2006.
Saturn is the sixth planet from the Sun and the second-largest in the Solar System, after Jupiter. It is a gas giant with an average radius about nine times that of Earth. It has only one-eighth the average density of Earth, but with its larger volume, Saturn is over 95 times more massive. Saturn is a gas giant because it is predominantly composed of hydrogen and helium. It lacks a definite surface, though it may have a solid core.

The Cassini spacecraft ended its mission on Sept. 15, 2017.

The Cassini-Huygens mission was a cooperative project of NASA, the European Space Agency and the Italian Space Agency. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, California, managed the mission for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington, D.C. The Cassini orbiter and its two onboard cameras were designed, developed and assembled at JPL. The imaging operations center was based at the Space Science Institute in Boulder, Colorado.

Lookout Mountain Moonset
Victor: "...a beautiful evening and star-filled night on Lookout Mountain, Oregon"
Can you spot the Moon close to the right side of the mountain top?
Lookout Mountain, elevation 6,536 feet (1,992 m), is the second highest peak in Oregon's Mount Hood National Forest and the highest point in Badger Creek Wilderness. It sits about 8 miles (13 km) east-southeast of Mount Hood, separated from it by the valley of the East Fork Hood River.
From its summit and with good visibility, one may see (from approximately west and moving clockwise) Mt. Hood, Mt. St. Helens, Mt. Rainier, Mt. Adams, Broken Top, South Sister, North Sister, Mt. Washington, and Mt. Jefferson with the unassisted eye.

NASA Scientist Reveals Greenland's Geologic Past
We tend to think of Earth's landmasses as being fixed in place, but in reality they are attached to moving tectonic plates that constantly jostle for position. In some areas these tectonic plates slide over a hotspot—an upwelling of magma from deep in the mantle that can leave behind a geologic "scar" in the crust. Now, a NASA scientist and her colleagues have used anomalies in Greenland's crustal magnetic field to derive its geothermal heat flux, allowing them to effectively peer beneath Greenland's thick ice sheet and into the crust itself. What they found was a thermal track in Greenland's bedrock that records the motions of the North American tectonic plate over geologic time. This finding helps scientists to better understand the movement of Greenland, as it was slowly pushed over the hotspot that is now located under neighboring Iceland. It also serves as a reminder that nothing stands still over geologic time, and that even the largest landmasses are constantly being reshaped by our dynamic planet.

Sunset & Crescent Moon
"This lovely sunset was captured on a cold January evening from the Salem River Wildlife Management Area, near Pennsville, New Jersey. Sunsets and twilight colors are often quite remarkable whenever clouds are found at different levels in the sky. Higher clouds (cirrus) will still exhibit pinks and reds when clouds closer to the surface appear dark. Soft reflections off the still water further enhance this wintertime scene. Note the waxing crescent Moon at upper left. Photo taken at approximately 5:30 p.m."
