The image, which was captured by the Cassini spacecraft in 2012, showed a glorious view of Saturn while the spacecraft was in its shadow.
NASA often shares space pictures and videos on its social media handle which usually leaves netizens mesmerised. The space agency occasionally offers stunning images taken by various telescopes and spacecraft as well. This time too, it uploaded a mindblowing image captured by the Cassini spacecraft which featured not just Saturn but also its iconic rings.
"Sometimes called the jewel of the solar system, Saturn is not the only planet with rings; however, its rings are the most complex and prominent of our solar system," the American space agency wrote in the caption of the post, adding, "The rings are thought to be pieces of comets, asteroids, or shattered moons torn apart by the massive gas planet's gravity."
Take a look at the images below:
