NASA’s Cassini orbiter snaps unbelievable picture of Saturn Taken by NASA's Cassini robotic orbiter (launched in 1997 and took 7 years to reach Saturn's orbit), the shot was captured from the dark side of Saturn as the Sun's bright rays illuminated every piece of dust and debris circling the planet.

"UNBELIEVABLE" is right... So, SO fricking cool.

Animated from hundreds of thousands of still photographs from NASA's Cassini orbiter, the above video isn't actually a NASA project. Instead, it's a preview of a full-length IMAX film dubbed Outside In: a non-profit project funded by a number of individual supporters.
