If any of you are astronomy geeks or just enjoy amazing pictures of the solar system then you need to check these images out (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-1172205/Saturn-close-Sensational-cosmic-images-bring-ringed-planet-life.html). They are some of the most detailed pictures of Saturn that I've ever seen.

You cant walk on them for they are mostly dust and ice particles with rocks and bolders and even a moon or 2 resides within the rings. Think of it this way, a debris field......:cool:

Awe inspiring images. This more than ever reinforces my belief in GOD.
^ this guy ruined it for me.

But the images themselves are bordering surreal, my eyes still interpret them as CGI even though they're genuine, and this creates a puzzling sensation... why wasn't I born a couple of centuries later, the Bobcats would have won a dozen championships by then and all of this woudn't seem as perplexing as it is now.

I thought Saturn was a orangish color?

Can we get some color pictures from space?
