And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Saturn peeking behind the Moon, seen from the top of the Mauna Kea Volcana, in Hawaii, in September 2024.
Colors are stretched a bit to get that red and blue in the moon's surface, but those are very neat things to watch happening. The moon slides between us and Saturn and over the space of an hour or so, it blocks out Saturn completely so that all you see is the moon. Then Saturn appears on the other limb of the moon.
No, that's a real pic. I believe you can see a few of Saturn's moons scattered around it. Saved to the archive.
