It's that shadow that did it. There's much to be said by what is lit and what is not... the known and the unknown.
This photo gave me the sense that I was there too seeing this planet from a *different* perspective than I ever could have from Earth.

Any of the photos taken by Voyager 1 and 2 are still amazing and inspiring.

Of course, Hubble's brought the universe closer. Too many favorite photos to list from Hubble.
