Saturnrise.

This video sequence was taken in 2007 by astronomer Jan Koet, and shows Saturn seeming to emerge as the Moon moves out of the way.

The video is at twice actual speed.

Always love seeing stuff like this - of course in a field like astrobiology there’s still a ton of discussion going on about most of the ideas being presented here!
