There are also spiral rings! This is one cool looking planet.

As Cassini got closer and closer to the rings, it extended a
boom with the SHURE diamond tipped sensor. The diamond sensor
found a groove and rode along the rings, causing Cassini to radio
back this message:

" ..... scrape...scrape.....hisssssss
click.....click.......pop......click..."

".....Streets full of people, all alone
Roads full of houses never home
Church full of singing out of tune
Everyone's gone to the moon"

"Eyes full of sorrow, never wet
Hands full of money, all in debt
Sun coming out in the middle of June
Everyone's gone to the moon"

"Long time ago
Life had begun
Everyone went to the sun"

"Hearts full of motors painted green
Mouths full of chocolate-covered cream
Arms that can only lift a spoon
Everyone's gone to the moon"

"Everyone's gone to the moon
Everyone's gone to the moon....click...moon...click....moon"

"click......moon....click......moon...click......c lick...click"


I wonder if the RIAA knows about this?

....And in a parallel universe where the SOI failed, the signal
transmitted back was found to have been a scratchmix rap recording by
2 Live Crew, thus proving that no matter where you go in the universe
rap music is harmful to your health.

Look closely and you'll see that the pub sign has a (not very good)
representation of an EVA.
