The planet Saturn is enjoying its own equinox today and if you are into that sort of thing, look through a telescope tonight and for the next few days you will not be able to see its rings. They are perfectly aligned with the Sun right now and completely invisible from Earth. However, the Cassini Space Craft is taking some rather cool pictures of these on edge rings as the little bits that make them are now casting shadows as long as planets are wide.
