Lutetia and Saturn

Urban Astronomer avatarPosted on by
Rosetta successfully performed a fly-by of asteroid Lutetia this weekend.  A detailed report can be found at the European Space Agency (ESA) website, but I have isolated one single picture from the mission as my favourite:  A chance alignment where the planet Saturn is visible behind the asteroid.  Beautiful!
