      <B><FONT face="Verdana">The Cassini Probe sent us this mesmerizing and 
      very rare picture of the planet Saturn backlit by the sun.  Light 
      diffuses through the rings and dust clouds that orbit the giant ringed 
      planet showing us that it's ringed beauty is only a fraction of what the 
      planet really has to offer.</FONT></B></P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://slightlywarped.com/crapfactory/amazingimages/saturn.htm"><P align="left">

      belief you have, every nation at war, every point of view you've ever 
      experienced, every hope, every dream, every good, and every evil resides 
      on that small ordinary mote.  Say hello to Earth seen from 930
