The Cassini-Huygens satellite found the Death Star from "Star Wars" :-D

OH MY GOSH!!! Abandon the planet! That thing could destroy us in seconds! Or maybe it's a peace mission. Everyone, please remain calm and stay in your homes... Slight Independence Day reference there. :)

I bet whoever first saw it was flipping out, and George Lucas must think he's going crazy. That's pretty cool...

Hmm.. And when was the Star Wars movie with the Death Star made? Around 1980 right? Freaky coincidence, or planned design by the great George Lucas??

I have a digitally-enhanced version of the Voyager image attached. Note the small object to the top right of the body; it's perplexing NASA engineers. Perhaps another moon in the distance?
