Enceladus & Saturn
Just having some fun with Cassini images...this is a view looking over Enceladus' south pole, ice geysers erupting and Saturn in the distance. Nothing scientifically exact about the apparent sizes, angles, lighting, etc....just for imagination's sake. :)

Solar Flare (SDO AIA 304) 3-7-11
A huge solar flare erupted near the Sun's northeastern limb on March 7, 2011, at about 2:21 PM EST, sending solar plasma over 200,000 miles into space and a wave of solar particles outward from the Sun at the fastest speeds seen in over 5 years.
The small circle at upper right is the comparative size of Earth.
