The internet labels NASA's stunning old image of Saturn as "unrealistic."

 Despite being in Saturn's shadow, the Cassini spacecraft managed to take a beautiful view of the planet in 2012.

The Cassini spacecraft bid farewell to the galaxy on September 15, 2017.

On its social media account, NASA frequently posts images and videos from space, which typically awes online users. The space agency occasionally provides breathtaking pictures captured by numerous telescopes and spacecraft. This time, it also posted a breathtaking photograph taken by the Cassini spacecraft, which showed both Saturn and its recognisable rings.

The American space agency stated in the caption of the image that while Saturn is not the only planet in our solar system with rings, they are the most complex and noticeable. They continued, "The rings are thought to be pieces of comets, asteroids, or shattered moons torn apart by the massive gas planet's gravity."

Despite being in Saturn's shadow, the Cassini spacecraft managed to take a beautiful view of the planet in 2012. According to NASA, the cameras were pointed at Saturn and the sun to backlight the planet and its rings. According to the space agency, the image was captured using infrared, red, and violet spectrum filters, which were then merged to provide this enhanced-color view.

NASA posted the breathtaking image on Friday, and more than 1.5 million people have liked and commented on it since then. The image was described as "unrealistic" by some users and as "magnificent" by others.

One person said, "Space is so amazing. Another person remarked, "What a fantastic cosmic picture." A third person said, "Until I really see Saturn, it will continue to appear to me as an artificially intelligently created image. What a bizarre, beautiful planet it is." "Such a gorgeous picture," said a fourth.

On September 15, 2017, the Cassini spacecraft said goodbye to the galaxy. The probe was launched in 1997 and provided first-ever views of the ringed planet and its several moons during its journey. It was a collaborative project of NASA, the European Space Agency, and the Italian Space Agency.
