Amazing photo of Saturn eclipsing the sun

Here's a stunning image of Saturn that has been described as "like no other."

It was taken by the Cassini-Huygens probe, which was launched in 1997, and which is in orbit around the planet, as it looked at the eclipsed sun.

If you look carefully, you can see planet Earth to the left, just above the bright main rings. Saturn is 800 million miles away from Earth.
