ALT A mosaic image of Saturn backlit by the Sun. A quarter of its large rings are at the top right and the image is overexposed to show a portion of the shadowed sphere of Saturn. Below the rings is a tiny star-looking dot, which is Earth and its moon. The dot is annotated by a white arrow, denoting its position in the image. Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech
ALT A black background is scattered with hundreds of small galaxies of different shapes, ranging in color from white to yellow to red. Some galaxies are distorted, appearing to be stretched out or mirror-imaged. Near the center, a particularly long and thin line stretches from ten o’clock to four o’clock. At upper right, a red swoosh extends about three-quarters of the way around a pair of galaxies. A handful of foreground stars display eight diffraction spikes.
