Pretty cool to see like that.
Another neat thing is that they say there are dwarf planets that reside in Saturn's rings.
They are too big to be stars but still too small to be considered a planet.

Thanks for sharing, my son will love that pic.

It would take 7,000,000,000,000,000 Earths to fill it up.

If it was to replace our Sun, it's surface would be out beyond the orbit of Saturn.

Wow I had to look that one up. Largest star discovered and is about 3.0 billion km (1.9 billion mi) in diameter (WiKi). I cannot not even image something that big but I did drive across Texas once!

Could you imagine SPF 1,000,000,000 sun block lotion?

good 1 steveOtoo ...but it would have worked better if we'd been talking about gas giants as Uranus is 1...lol

There's also some other stuff that resides in Saturn's rings that Nasa won't us about...but i wouldn't go there today...:tehe:

Great pic's bro!!

I still can't get over "3.0 billion km (1.9 billion mi) in diameter": No matter where you go, you will never be there.
