On one hand, galactic pileups are, well galactic, but on the other hand they're so flippin' huge and slow (compared to our puny lives) that they become pretty much incomprehensible. A sauropod pileup is much easier to grasp, especially if it happens on top of you.

this picture came up at our research meeting on Thursday. Mostly as a segue into complaining about NASA bureaucracy, but also because it showed something neat that Jen, our undergrad, was working on. (She was also pleased that when she saw this picture she knew what part of the rings it was. Probably because she's been staring at the Cassini Division for a better part of the year.)
