Not only a moon makes a crescent

in #science6 years ago

Our planets do it too.

It also seems fitting that a crescent saturn should be the final view that the cassini space probe should have on its final and suicide mission that sent it plummeting into saturn's atmosphere.

wonderful astronomy sir.
a very remarkable works sir @gavvet

Crescent Saturn is really cool. I wish I could see it well from my telescope, but I can't. Seeing the rings and moons, though, is really cool.
