146-saturn-from-comet-dixon – A dramatic view from the irregular, craggy surface of a comet nucleus as it passes through the outer Saturnian system.

The foreground features highly textured, porous landscape details suggestive of a "dirty snowball" composition, providing a sense of scale to the distant planet.
