Cassini infrared image from above the planet’s northern latitudes. Nearly the full expanse of the main rings is visible here -- from the C ring to the outer edge of the A ring (in the upper left corner).

Oops... just spotted this on another website, from May 22th 2007 Astronomy Picture of the day.
This image is from the HiRISE spacecraft currently orbiting Mars. This is an intriguing picture, the HiRise camera can see into most of the darkest shadows on Mars, but is unable to penetrate this.

The Apollo 11 landing site, just up and to the left of the bright crater at the bottom right.
Here's something interesting... I found an old National Geographic Moon map in a bookshop today, dated February 1969. On the map it had some markings for Apollo landing sites.
Here's another Moon taken with my Canon Powershot, handheld at a 32mm EP.

JWST will have a large mirror, 6.5 meters (21.3 feet) in diameter and a sunshield the size of a tennis court. Both the mirror and sunshade won't fit onto the rocket fully open, so both will fold up and open only once JWST is in outer space. JWST will reside in an orbit about 1.5 million km (1 million miles) from the Earth.
My scope mount is back and fixed from David Hinds. New RA motor, fixed under warranty... now that makes a change.
Here's a small animation showing the change in Saturn's ring from 2006 to 2007.
