Beautiful Images

Venus shines through the rings of Saturn, in one of two photos taken by the Cassini spacecraft on Nov. 10, 2012.

It appears as a bright white dot, just above and to the right of the picture’s center.

The image was taken while Cassini was slightly below the ring plane, looking towards the unlit side of the rings.
Each dot represents about 44km (28miles).
The Cassini was at the time 802,000 km away from Saturn and about 1,42 billion km from Venus.

Venus is much hotter than the Earth(reaching 500 degrees Celsius) and has a surface pressure 100 times our own.
Its thick, carbon-dioxide-dominated atmosphere is to blame.
However, it is still considered a twin to Earth due to similar size, mass, orbit, and rocky composition.
Its brightness is enhanced by thick sulfuric acid clouds covering the planet.

Venus is not the only planet that the Cassini has seen from Saturn.
An image snapped in 2006, called “In Saturn’s Shadow”, shows a staggering view of Earth, and happens to be one of the most popular pictures taken from the Cassini.
