Cassini space probe
An historic international space mission to Saturn has reached the planet's
orbit after a seven year journey. The £2 billion Cassini probe had to pull off a critical manoeuvre to slip through Saturn's rings. If you want to read the full story click on the link: http://www.itv.com/news/957766.html LJ |

Well, nobody ever said they would be breathtaking. Remember that most of them were taken from the unlit side of the rings. You've got to admit, though, that there are some crazy, almost mathematical, patterns in those density waves. It's intriguing to say the least, and the images will undoubtedly bring new insights into the dynamics of the rings. The Cassini-Huygens mission is surely going to be an exciting endeavor. -- The butler did it. |

I didn't mean it that way, I think it's amazing that we can actually see
Saturn up close. I just meant there are allot better pictures to come. LJ |
