About this image
With the sun's powerful and potentially damaging rays eclipsed by Saturn itself, Cassini's onboard cameras were able to take advantage of this unique viewing geometry. They acquired a panoramic mosaic of the Saturn system that allows scientists to see details in the rings and throughout the system as they are backlit by the sun. This mosaic is special as it marks the third time our home planet was imaged from the outer solar system; the second time it was imaged by Cassini from Saturn's orbit; and the first time ever that inhabitants of Earth were made aware in advance that their photo would be taken from such a great distance. With both Cassini's wide-angle and narrow-angle cameras aimed at Saturn, Cassini was able to capture 323 images in just over four hours. This final mosaic uses 141 of those wide-angle images.

What my clients say
I saw a beautiful picture of a lotus that would look perfect in our home, however the larger size that I needed wasn't an option for purchase. I reached out to Adam and he was quick to reply and happy to provide me with the 48 x 48 dimensions that I needed. The large canvas was shipped and arrived in perfect condition. I love it and this will bring us a lot of happiness seeing this beautiful picture placed behind our buddha fountain. We are very happy and Adam was very kind and responsive with providing me with delivery dates too.
Adam is awesome! I purchased a zebra-butt print on metal from him for my brother-in-law for Christmas (yes, a long story!) and it's beautiful. Very professionally done with a metal box in back for hanging. I was proud to give it, aside from the humor factor! Also, I had to communicate several times with Adam during the process, and he is funny and very nice. All around a total pleasure to do business with. Highly recommend his work as well as his way of doing business.
Excellent service and a variety of materials. Varying prices, tailored to different needs. Overall, good taste. Extensive experience in this sector.
