Saturn’s silvery rings burst from a bed of hazy, golden clouds in an incredible image doing the rounds online. The picture is supposedly the last ever produced by NASA’s Cassini craft before it fell into the planet’s atmosphere and disintegrated.
Unfortunately, the stunning snapshot is really just concept art released by NASA back in April 2017, months before Cassini's actual demise. Although the fact a spacecraft can send image data back from three planets away is still pretty impressive, the final pictures themselves aren’t quite so majestic.
