This is a view from the surface of Comet 67P.

The busy particles in the foreground are cosmic rays or bits of dust and ice.

The dots moving in the background are stars.

This is a view looking down on a portion of Saturn's rings.

Find the white structures along the edge of the ring, near the top.

Now look at their shadows, cast on the rings themselves just below them.

Those white structures are giant towers of icy ring particles, some rising more than 2 km.

Such a shock that we've lost this beautiful person, so full of vitality. RIP Julia.

Julia Alexander did so much for the Baltimore arts community and the Walters, always with extraordinary generosity and enthusiasm. #juliaalexander
