The ’09-’10 school year may have come to a close and this year’s seniors may have boldly gone off to explore strange new worlds (hopefully not too strange).  But that doesn’t mean that everything has come to a halt.  For example, NASA’s Cassini spacecraft continues its journey 1.4 billion miles from Earth.  It has spent months weaving around Saturn and its moons, sending back incredible photos and data.  In the photo above, Cassini caught this image of Saturn’s moon Tethys with its prominent Odysseus Crater slipping behind Saturn’s largest moon Titan (all those thinking ‘Death Star’ raise your hand).  Click here to see 30 equally great Saturn photos at Boston.com’s The Big Picture.
