The Wheel With-in a Wheel

The Wheel With-in a Wheel.

A couple of years ago and when I first looked into a telescope and saw the planet Saturn for the first time, I was astonished. I could not believe that I could see it so clearly! According to the scientist, it is about 888 million miles away from the sun. I thought, could this be Ezekiel’s wheel with-in a wheel!?

Although the angle is different, this is what Saturn looked like to me through the telescope a couple of years ago:

This is what it looked like another year. I believe it was about two years ago in 2006:

This is what it looked like to me on March 17, 2008. This year, it seems to almost look like it did when it was described by scientist that looked through a telescope and saw it in the A.D. 1600s. It has also been said that in the year 2009, its rings will not be as visible based on the angle seen from our earth:
