Death.

Cassini has captured one of a few rogue portals into Diablo’s Lair, this one being on Saturn. Look at that shit! A blood-churning blood-filled hurricane of doom! Oh, don’t give me anything about spectral filters. Or extrapolations. That is how it truly looks. I can feel it.

The glory.

Oh, Venus. The planet is playing coy in this picture, hiding from us. Though, it does have some help with the majesty of Saturn in this picture’s forefront.

Cassini captures Saturn’s enormous space swagger.

November 27th, 2012 by Caffeine Powered

G’damn! Saturn is quite large. This gorgeous picture was snapped back in August by Cassini, and it captures the true hulking might of the planet named after a video game system.

SATURN’S SIZE will make you feel like the mite you are. Relativity ++

October 30th, 2012 by Caffeine Powered

Our fat brains can’t really process things. Consider Saturn’s sheer enormity in comparison to us. Then try and comprehend how small in relation to the sun. Then appreciate how fucking small the Sun is in the grand scheme. Nosebleed incoming!
