- Ten years ago, Rosetta flew by Mars. This photograph, taken by the spacecraft's OSIRIS camera during the flyby, in my opinion, still remains as the greatest photo of Mars ever taken. (February 2007) http://sci.esa.int/science-e-media/img/1e/mars_osiris-nac_red-green-blue.jpg 27 comments space

- In 2010, Cassini captured an image of Saturn with a (relatively) small storm seen in the top right of the first image. In just a few months it turned into one of the biggest storms ever observed in such detail. Here is the progress of The Great Springtime Storm's formation.
