Staring into Saturn's baleful eye
EDIT: There is now an amazing animated version of this image sequence.
This is just wow. It's part of a long sequence Cassini took, staring at Saturn's north pole. When? Today.
Go check out the rest of the sequence for yourself at the raw images website. Bill Dunford made an animation of some of them.
Zoom out, and you realize you're looking at just a tiny center of Saturn's famous north polar hexagon.
