One of the most popular sights at the Observatory is the sixth planet from the Sun, Saturn. Friday I had the opportunity to have dinner with a member of the Cassini Mission investigating this beautiful planet and her moons.Dr. Anne Verbiscer from the University of Virginia shared this wonderful image taken by the space probe in September of 2006. This is the ringed planet back-lit by the Sun. Detected from this work were two new faint rings
