This image is way, way cool:

It shows Io and Europa, Jupiter's moons, and it was taken by the New Horizons spacecraft on its way out of the jovian system. I could explain it in detail, but Emily already did, and since I stole the image from her, I should at least let her do the talkin'. But go read it; it's interesting.
