Two Canada geese flying over Saturn! This picture was taken while imaging the five-planet convergence with a digital video camera. The whole video segment showing the two geese flying over can be seen here. While we were giving a slow farewell to Saturn, who would soon be gone into the Sun's glare, the geese were then returned from their long journey to Canada. By the time Saturn was visible again in the Fall, the geese would be packing up for their long trip back to the South.
