....We're about 5 minutes before an expected occultation of Cassini's
SOI telemetry by the F-ring. As we wait, here's some quick facts about
the burn:

* 78 minutes after engine start Cassini will be captured by Saturn
* 8 minutes later Cassini will clip Saturn's cloud tops by 19,980 km
* 9-19 minutes later SOI engine burn stops
* 8 hours later first images at noon UTC (5am PDT - 8am EDT)
