I've been on the website of the Nasa to find the original picture. As I have a wide screen, I will be able to "create" my own wallpaper :p
Such a nice picture of Saturn taken from behind, which is something realy extraordinary, will be given a good place on my computer :)
Great, I was hoping people would enjoy it. Sights like this deserve to be seen.
