I'm currently reading Welcome to the Universe: An Astrophysical Tour by Neil Degrasse Tyson, Michael Strauss, and Richard Gott. I'm only a few chapters in but it really interesting. Also, Startalk is a great podcast to listen to. It's not really about stars but NDT talks to interesting people and you learn a lot about the universe we live in and a little about the ones we don't.

I find this hard to believe, as a close flyby of Mimas showed the moon is actually egg-shaped, due to Saturn's gravitational forces acting upon it.
Dammit, I can't find the picture. >_<

So Empire from the ashes was loosely based on a true story! I knew it, only Dahak wasn't our moon.......
I need to get there so I can be upgraded to captain before anyone else

moon daphnis making waves in saturn's rings, moving left to right
Looked up the APOD explanation. I wasn't even sure this was real or on Earth. It's absolutely stunning, the sights we can see on our own planet! Just imagine what other worlds are like!

right? im always looking for artistic illustrations of alien vistas, like, i wana know what it looks like to look out at night from the ground of a planet in a star cluster
They saved the best for last. The last year of Cassini will be devoted to the rings, even going through them. The next year will be awesome.

Beautiful picture.
A shame that it's a bit blurry. I mean, how hard can it be to focus on something 3400ly away? /s
