FORD OF THE RINGS The Saturnian moon Daphnis and Pan stir ripples in the giant planet’s rings due to their gravitational effect. Five-mile-wide Daphnis (lower left) is perturbing particles in Saturn’s A ring, while 17-mile-wide Pan (upper right) has kicked up dark wakes in the ring propagating toward the middle of the image. This picture was taken in visible light by the Cassini spacecraft’s narrow-angle camera on June 3, 2010, at a distance of about 329,000 miles from Saturn. (Photo: NASA / JPL-Caltech / SSI via MSNBC)

The Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope orbits Earth with a complicated motion. This map shows the position of a particular pulsar (the Vela pulsar) inside the field of view of the telescope as it orbits around the Earth rocking north/south; rolls to keep its solar panels facing the Sun; and processes around its axis once ever 54 days. It is a compound of these three motions that gives rise to this image.
Oh, pretty! I really like the picture. I wonder if there are prints or posters available.
The cover illustration for Stephen King’s new Dark Tower novel The Wind Through the Keyhole. I like to think that in the design meeting it came down to this and a shadowed woman’s profile or something. Fortunately Scribner uses the What Would William Blake Do? rubric for their book jackets.
