The Dew Drop of Saturn : The water-world Enceladus appears here to sit atop Saturns rings like a drop of dew upon a leaf. Even though it appears like a tiny drop before the might of the giant Saturn, Enceladus reminds us that even small worlds hold mysteries and wonders to be explored.

I'll be checking this out in the morning!
Five planets visible to the naked eye simultaneously! Since yesterday and until February 20, you can see Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn at the same time in the sky! The five planets are aligned in a diagonal from the horizon to the Moon. The best time to admire this show is just before dawn, so feel free to take a look out the window as you are waking up!

Take notes Tucson
In a metropolis like London light pollution makes the night sky invisible. Only a few of the brightest stars and asterisms force their celestial light through the man made glow of the city. The night sky, one of the most beautiful of natural wonders is extinguished from view. Blackout City is an experimental timelapse film that makes the invisible, visible. It attempts to show what the night sky would look like If there were ever to be a total blackout in the South East of England on a clear, moonless, summers night.
