                                  Saturn at Night   
         NASA, JPL-Caltech, Space Science Institute, Mindaugas Macijauskas   
      
      Explanation: Saturn is still bright in planet Earth's night skies.   
      Telescopic views of the distant gas giant and its beautiful rings often   
      make it a star at star parties. But this stunning view of Saturn's   
      rings and night side just isn't possible from telescopes closer to the   
      Sun than the outer planet. They can only bring Saturn's day into view.   
      In fact, this image of Saturn's slender sunlit crescent with night's   
      shadow cast across its broad and complex ring system was captured by   
      the Cassini spacecraft. A robot spacecraft from planet Earth, Cassini   
      called Saturn orbit home for 13 years before it was directed to dive   
      into the atmosphere of the gas giant on September 15, 2017. This   
      magnificent mosaic is composed of frames recorded by Cassini's   
      wide-angle camera only two days before its grand final plunge. Saturn's   
      night will not be seen again until another spaceship from Earth calls.
