/////////////////////////////////////////// Cassini begins a year of icy moon encounters with a flyby of Rhea Posted: 12 Feb 2015 05:39 PM PST http://www.planetary.org/blogs/emily...ar-of-icy.html 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. /////////////////////////////////////////// In Pictures: DSCOVR Headed for Deep Space Posted: 12 Feb 2015 07:48 AM PST http://www.planetary.org/blogs/jason...-pictures.html On Wednesday evening, a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocketed into orbit with DSCOVR, the Deep Space Climate Observatory. Here's a photo and video roundup. |
