General

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

This is certainly interesting.
NASA has a spot up online where you can view a computer-generated image of practically any planetary body at practically any viewpoint on practically any date in modern time. (Yes, I know: there a lot of “practically’s” in that last sentence.)

Anyway, check it out. It’s sure to make your day that much more exciting.

…Or not. But check it out anyway.

Haha!

What’s sad is that, before I uploaded the image, I had named it “Saturn.jpg.”
I think I need to brush up on my astronomy!
