Thank you very much.

This Saturn photo has a strong resemblance to the Galileo Galileis observation report: The planet Saturn is not alone, but is composed of three, which almost touch one another... They are arranged in a line parallel to the zodiac, and the middle one is about three times the size of the lateral ones.

...And also to his description saying Saturn has ears.

This photo truly embodies the Galileo report.
