Outer space in Real Life

Outer space in science fiction can be so cool!  It's pulled right from someone's imagination so it can be anything and can look any way the thinker wants.  That's made for some pretty impressive "outer spaces."  I was browsing Yahoo news as I like to do and was so excited to find an article they posted on Saturn. 


You can read the article here. 


I love when real life is better than fiction, which is actually more often than we realize.  NASA sent a robotic orbiter into space to take pictures of Saturn, and the pictures it captured were more amazing than anything I could dream up.  And as a side note, it took 7 years to reach Saturn, but in my imagination, the technology is much more advanced so you can get anywhere in space in about a month or two :) 


But anywho, I just wanted to share the photo that was captured.  It's breathtaking.  Also, they just sent another orbiter to take pics of Jupiter and it will arrive in 5 years.  I can't wait to see how those turn out.
