In 2008, Ruff’s great interest in astronomy and scientific images from outer space led to him turn his attention to photographs of Saturn and its moons. Since 2005, the images have been transmitted to Earth by the Cassini space probe, launched by NASA in October 1997—and have been available free of charge on the Internet. Ruff chose a number of the images from the great range at hand and then processed them on a computer. He changed the color tones and substantially enlarged the relatively small images. The intention behind the coloring was to enhance the abstract quality of the scientific “images of nature.”
