Not bad astronomy at all.

Thanks, Plane.

The first picture looks sorta like a tit

the second pic looks like a Kidney Stone

And the third pic is what you see looking up as the toilet flushes

I saw the photos and the comments on them.

Far more interesting than watching a tit, a kidney stone or Kramer's toilet flushing, I am sure.

A Tit the size of a Galixy?

What a thought.

Does everything you see suggest sexual topics ?

What about this one?

I don't suppose martian sand dunes would turn you on at all would they?

Those look somehow vaguely obscene. I am not quite sure why.

Without knowing the scale , you may not really know what you are looking at .

The Rings of Saturn are mostly ice, edge on they seem to be a knife edge, but in mass they represent a lot of oceans.

At some distances it is a glittering disc thoussands of times the size of our world , containing an hundred thousand times the Pacific Ocean a marvelous enourmous snow drift with rocks and snowballs from flour fine to bolders to small moons contained within.

And from other angles it looks like an old vinal LP record.

Saturn's rings are truly cool to look at. Another great place to view from a distance, but I think it is safe to say I would not wish to live there. I would not even fancy a visit without a really good space suit and space travel vehicle.
