So we now have a
collection<https://www.google.com/search?tbm=isch&q=saturn+hexagon>of
old and new images from Voyager and Cassini (I remember when somebody
told me about Cassini/Huygens circa 2003, I expected great things,
especially from Huygens. Turns out that while pictures from the slushy
surface of Titan are neat, the orbiter yielded better long-term rewards)
and some are better than others.
