It really is. Difficult to imagine what's really out there.

C'mon Joe -- you could have done better with your camera with a zoom lens from your backyard!
On a serious note, the image in incredible. showed it to my son who is really into astronomy.
Thanks for posting.

What a cool planet! Definitely the coolest looking one. Looks like Earth using a hoola-hoop! They must be in great shape on that planet. Seriously though, one of the greatest planetary, celestial photos I've ever seen.

Great photo. I wonder if and how much of a time lapse photo it "might" be?
I think the picture with some of Saturn's moon circled indicates that this is a composite of three photos taken with three specific blue, green and red filters using the Wide Field Camera 3 (WCF3). Since Saturn is quite bright, particularly through the Hubble, the exposure time is probably very short.
