With giant Saturn hanging in the blackness and sheltering Cassini from the sun's blinding glare, the spacecraft viewed the rings as never before.
This marvelous panoramic view was created by combining a 165 images taken by the Cassini wide-angle camera over nearly three hours on Sept. 15, 2006. The mosaic images were acquired as the spacecraft drifted in the darkness of Saturn's shadow for about 12 hours, allowing a multitude of unique observations of the microscopic particles that comprise Saturn's faint rings.

Last year's Climate Change March was the biggest environmental gathering in British and world history, forcing governments to legislate on climate change, writes Julia Stephenson.
When I heard that tens of thousands will gather again this year to call for meaningful action from world governments I must confess I thought, 'Not another march! There are plenty of other things I’d rather be doing.'
But when I thought about it some more I decided to turn up, show my face and shuffle along at the back. I’ve called a few friends I haven’t seen for a while so we’re planning a catch up while we do our bit.

Cocaine use in London is higher than in any other European city. It verges on acceptable,
within the environmentally proactive middles-classes, to pull out a
wrap of cocaine at the tail-end of a dinner party alongside the
Cointreau.
Most of us are aware of the detrimental effects of drug trade and use within our inner-cities and ports, but what about the global environmental effect each time a couple of grams of cocaine are snorted up, between friends winding-down for the weekend?
