Saturn on Insta vs. Saturn IRL 👀⁣ ⁣ An illusion of perspective, Saturn’s moon Tethys seems to hang above the planet's north pole in this view from NASAJPL's Cassini spacecraft that was captured on Jan. 26, 2015. Tethys is actually farther away than Saturn in this image. Lacking visual clues about distance, our brains place the moon above Saturn's north pole, but like all of Saturn's major moons and its ring system, Tethys actually orbits almost exactly at the planet’s equator.⁣ ⁣ Image Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/Space Science Institute⁣ ⁣ #NASA #nasacassini #saturn #moon #space #planet #photography
