"The natural-color view was assembled from 126 images collected during Cassini's rounds last October, from a distance of 3.9 million miles (6.3 million kilometers). The full-size mosaic image measures 8,888 wide by 4,544 pixels high ? that is, 40 megapixels by digital camera standards. Scientists say features as small as 24 miles (38 kilometers) across can be seen."

5.6mg or so.

That's hot.

Yes, it was shown on Astronomy Picture of the Day Archive months ago. It's so gianormous, it looks funny on my 20" Cinema. I might really have to get a 30" Cinema to make it look normal.

Funny, considering NASA only released it today. If I were a betting man I'd say you said this merely to yammer on about your new LCD. I could bitch slap you with my rig or even my old one but I'll be nice.

I agree. Plus it gets tiring. Once I've seen a planet I just get the urge to delete it and download a new one. :D

I guess you could say the same of porn, however, there's rarely voluntary deletion involved
