Here's the Cassini image from Saturn. Suppose I map an x-y coordinate system on that picture with the Earth (that pale blue dot down there) at the origin. Without looking at anything else, can you place points at the perimeter of the square picture, giving the angle pointing to where the sun and the remaining inner planets are located? Where exactly is Cassini located relative to Saturn? Where is the plane of the ecliptic for that matter? Is it viewable in the picture? If so, would be nice to upload the picture and draw a yellow arc showing it. Just thought it would be interesting to other astronomy people in here that's all.
