As Cassini nears the end of its primary mission, CICLOPS held an online vote for the public's favourite Cassini image. There were no real surprises, but I did notice this stunning black and white image of Titan's halo behind the rings. Equivalent natural colour images exist, but this is somehow much more striking and elegant.
