Incredible quadruple transit on Saturn!

Incredible quadruple transit on Saturn! | Bad Astronomy | Discover Magazine: "OK, duh, that’s Saturn. But you can see four moons crossing its face at the same time! Such an event is pretty rare, and very cool. The moons are (from left to right) Enceladus, Dione, Titan, and Mimas. You can also see the shadows of Enceladus and Dione on the planet’s cloudtops, too.

Whoa."
