Cassini begins a year of icy moon encounters with a flyby of Rhea

At last! Cassini is orbiting in Saturn's ring plane again. I do enjoy the
dramatic photographs of Saturn's open ring system that Cassini can get from
an inclined orbit, and we won't be getting those again for another year.
But with an orbit close to the ring plane, Cassini can repeatedly encounter
Saturn's icy moons, and icy moon flybys are my favorite thing about the
Cassini mission.
