NASA have released an 'out of this world' photo of Saturn which was taken by the Cassini-Huygens spacecraft while it was in orbit around the planet.

The stunning image -- which it's hard to believe isn't a CGI creation -- was taken as the probe looked back at the eclipsed sun.

And even NASA astronomers are impressed by the resulting image from 800 million miles away, with one saying: "Cassini saw a view unlike any other.

"First, the night side of Saturn is seen to be partly lit by light reflected from its own majestic ring system.
"Next, the rings themselves appear dark when silhouetted against Saturn, but quite bright when viewed away from Saturn, slightly scattering sunlight, in this exaggerated color image.

"Saturn's rings light up so much that new rings were discovered, although they are hard to see in the image."
 
Ha brilliant. A truly terrible sport. I watched the entire superbowl last year. Like 3 or 4 hours just to try and get into it because I felt like I was missing something. I wasn't.
