Saturn from Cassini

Lifted this from Bad Astronomy. My god, incredible. I never really stopped to consider the scale of Saturn (as viewed here from the Cassini space probe). I can think of it relative to the Earth, but how useful is that? I am familiar with how big the United States are, since I have driven across it several times. Here, Matt Andrews superimposed the United states on Saturn's surface.
