Apologies for the leave of absence. All is well, and I’m glad to welcome you back with this image of Saturn from Riding with Robots:

Cassini’s infrared imager can see heat rising from deep within the planet, silhouetting clouds against the glowing interior. This image serves as a reminder that planets are not mere lumps of rock or gas, but resemble living things, pulsing with energy and changing with time.

Glad all’s well.
