The date of OP's post made me double take haha! For those unaware, Cassini was destroyed back in September 2017 via a controlled fall into Saturn's atmosphere. Others have already pointed out that this is concept art and not a photo (source: NASA/JPL-Caltech) but I just wanted to add my own two pence for those who might not have seen (and also add the original source of the image).
This was around the time that I was working as an intern alongside some scientists involved with this mission and it was very cool to hear them talk about the preparations for the "Grand Finale". Some of these guys had been studying Saturn decades before Cassini even launched in 1997. It was a bittersweet moment for them having to plan for it's demise.
So this art, while very beautiful, is not the kind of photography that's expected from space probes just an FYI (because OP's post is technically misinformation). Here is a detailed rundown on how Cassini's camera system works for anyone interested, and here is where you can view some of the best photos taken by Cassini (just as beautiful as the art!). They also go into detail as to how exactly these images are captured, which is very interesting.
Some of my favourites:

Finally, the entire gallery of photos from the Cassini mission beginning from mission launch in October 1997.

Just think about it.
Fishman is a species stuck between fish and humain being. Eating one or the other is almost canibalism. Soooo.... So of course! The company Grand Line Foodies would develop a range of vegan products.

And now, please, imagine Luffy, he would be like a giant chewing-gum for fishman!

Most recently read Because It's You by @purpleneutrino on Ao3 and oh my god
If you're looking for a slow burn canon universe fic that focuses on character interactions, I highly recommend it. It's beautifully written, the characters are on point and everything is perfectly paced.
I have a few messy sketches in the works inspired by the fic, but I only had time to colour this one as I'm currently writing my thesis🥲
I will post them eventually! In the meantime go read Because It's You

I'd love to hear about zosan from Luffy's pov 😂
Haha I love this WIP! Luffy POV is just so fun. He's such an odd little guy. It's focused around Luffy's unique view of the world and how it gives him insight into things that other people aren't able to see as clearly i.e. how much Zoro and Sanji actually care about each other. Their bickering is the best entertainment for him and he loves talking them up to anyone given the chance (even enemies he's fighting with). He just thinks they're both great and so clearly love each other so much, and is confused as to why no one else sees it 😆

oh i MUST ask about Eternal Pose 👀🧡💙
My girls!! 😭 This one is close to my heart and will probably take me a long time to finish. It's Nami POV and centered around how she deals with leaving Vivi behind at Alabasta, but never having confessed her feelings towards her. Vivi is desperate to stay in contact with Nami and the others (via letters or Den Den Mushi) but Nami firmly tells her no, as she is worried that it would put Vivi in danger if their correspondance was intercepted. She also wants to try and forget Vivi as much as possible for the sake of her own feelings. Vivi agrees, but she is also stubborn and makes attempts to contact Nami anyway. Nami's feelings make it hard to say no to her...
Here's a small snippet!
The second-hand shop sold a variety of sailing trinkets. As Nami made her way towards what looked like an amalgamation of navigational and shipwrights tools, she caught the eye of the day-dreaming cashier—a girl probably only a year or two younger than she was—and gave her a small smile and a nod. The girl blinked dazedly for a moment, giving her a shy smile back before glancing down at her newspaper, a light pink on her cheeks. The movement caused her shimmery mane of silver hair to catch the light, making it almost appear blue. 
Nami’s heart skipped a beat.
She turned back quickly to the disorganised shelves. They heaved with everything from sextants to piles upon piles of old maps and ship blueprints alike. There wasn’t anything in particular she was looking for, she was only here to pass the time and maybe pick up a new inkwell or two, but the habit of seeking out a good bargain was something that never truly went away, no matter how much berry she gained.
Her eyes fell upon a collection of dusty log poses, all in varying states of disrepair. Probably being sold for spare parts, she reasoned. There were also a few eternal poses amongst the pile that looked to be in better condition. She picked up the closest one to inspect it, dusting off the side where the destination should be carved into it, except the wood had become so worn that the name of the island was completely unreadable.
“Useless,” Nami muttered quietly to herself as she made to put it back on the shelf. No wonder it was so heavily marked down in price. Eternal poses weren’t exactly cheap.
Just before she could replace it on the shelf, she paused. The name on the eternal pose that had been hidden behind the one she held was now fully visible. Her hand shook a little as she reached for it, tracing the letters gently with her fingertip as she wiped away the dust.
“Alabasta…”
Nami bit her lip, turning it over in her hands under the guise of checking its condition���flawless—and price tag—way more berry than she could justify—when all the while her mind whirled with a sea of emotions. She stole a glance back at the cashier again, and her hair only seemed more blue.
The cashier looked up and spoke, but Nami could only hear her own heartbeat thundering in her ears.
“What?” Nami said faintly and the cashier gave her a kind smile before repeating herself.
“Do you need any help with anything?” 
“O-oh! No, I'm okay. Sorry I'm just browsing.”
The cashier’s smile became amused as she took in Nami’s flustered look.
“No problem! I’m here if you need anything.”
Nami watched curiously as the cashier gave her another quick once over before looking back down at her newspaper. Her cheeks were pink again.
Smiling, Nami observed the girl tucking her hair behind her ear, her eyes very clearly not reading the words in front of her at all. It was always flattering to be looked at in that way. On any other day, Nami might have even pursued it further, but…
She took a breath.
Mind calmer, Nami looked back down again at the eternal pose. She gripped it tighter.
Making a decision, she turned and walked back towards the till. The cashier smiled brightly.
“Just that one?” She said as Nami passed over the eternal pose to her.
Nami nodded, heart hammering as she counted up the last of her berry in her purse—the boys would have to make do without any more handouts today. She watched as the cashier read the name on the pose, mouthing the syllables silently to herself without any sign of recognition, before placing it carefully in a paper bag. 
“Does it point somewhere nice?” She said conversationally. “Somewhere sunny? Nice beaches?” Her eyes roamed over Nami again, taking in her long hair, worn loose, and her tangerine sundress. She passed Nami the bag as she spoke, their fingertips brushing. Her touch was warm.
Nami pulled away gently. Whether the cashier looked disappointed or not, she didn’t know. She kept her gaze on the bag instead, smiling.
“Home,” she said.

for the wip game: Luffy goes vegan. Sanji loses his mind 🤯💀👀
LOL my most ridiculous crack fic idea 😂 The WIP is very sparse right now (just dialogue and a few rough actions) but it's mostly an exercise in putting Sanji through as much confusion and suffering as possible trying to cater to Luffy's new diet (which, predictably, doesn't last long).
Sanji's reaction to veganism is just such a funny thought exercise to me. Because he's this kind and respectful person, someone who would absolutely cater to anyone else's dietary restrictions, but I think on a personal level, it would truly baffle him (especially if it was Luffy hahaha). He's also a creative chef though, so I think he would also rise to the challenge of making vegan alternatives.
edit: just seen you also ask about this one too @i-like-the-way-you-talk

For WIP asks:
I heard a rumour (ZoSan, Usopp POV)
Oh I can't wait to get around to this one!! It's a silly, light-hearted oneshot:
Usopp is bored and it’s a slow day on the Sunny. Everyone is lazing around. He entertains himself by telling small lies to Luffy, who he knows will believe him and spread the lies eagerly to the others. Usopp is amused by how much the lies evolve by the time they make their way back to him—like a game of telephone.
He spreads a rumour about someone having a crush on another crewmate. It evolves quickly into something much more detailed: Zoro has a crush on Sanji. Chaos ensues.

Ooh what's The Cost of Kindness about?
Nami challenges Zoro to be a little bit nicer to Sanji. Zoro is reluctant, but agrees when she sweetens the deal with the promise of reducing his debt to her. Only catch is that his nice comments to Sanji have to be genuine. Zoro thinks Sanji is absolutely going to react badly to any compliments he gives him, and it's only going to rile him up more, but Sanji is surprisingly receptive...

✏️ for the WIP game: Gym Bros!
I'll post a little snippet of this one! It's ZoSan from Zoro POV:
It was safe to say that the last thing Zoro had expected to see when he entered the crow’s nest that morning for an early workout, was Sanji in front of him, bending over almost completely in half and reaching towards his toes.
“What are you doing here?” Zoro blurted out, ignoring the part of his brain that couldn’t help but be a little impressed at the display of flexibility. Sanji had his palms perfectly flat on the floor now, arms and legs impossibly straight. It clearly wasn’t costing him any effort at all.
Turning his head at Zoro’s outburst, Sanji shot him a disparaging look.
“Working out, dumbass, what’s it look like?” Sanji said.
He spoke with the specific tone of voice he used when he thought Zoro was being particularly stupid. Truth be told, Zoro was starting to feel stupid. Now that he’d gotten over the surprise of finding Sanji in his space, he noticed that Sanji was wearing loose fitting clothes as opposed to his usual suit. And they were in the gym.
“But...” Zoro tried uselessly, feeling his face heat up as he struggled to come up with a retort.
Sanji made a scoffing sound. “What?” he said in a low voice, seemingly oblivious to Zoro’s creeping embarrassment. He rose smoothly and straightened up. “You think just because I don’t make training my entire personality like you do, that I don’t work out? We were in a battle yesterday. I need to stretch properly afterwards or I’ll start cramping up.”
“I was just surprised to see you in my gym—“
“Your gym? Last I checked it didn’t have your name on it.”
“I use it the most. It’s unofficially mine.”
“I don’t need your permission to use a room designed for everyone to use, mosshead!”
