Mimas And Calypso

NASA's Cassini probe continues to send amazing images from Saturn's neighbourhood. These images are valuable because they may be the only way we have to inspire some future, as yet unborn, generation to actually go and see the these vistas for themselves. It will require a people with a different out look about themselves and their place in the universe, because our insignificance will become much more apparent as we travel further and further from this little rock we call home. We, that is the present generations, aren't ready for that kind of revelation yet.

New Saturn Mystery

Exploring space will guarantee that we never run out of mysteries. The latest one is is just wonderful. Saturn is at its equinox so the sun light is illuminating the rings edge on. The Cassini probe took many pictures but one image is just plain weird. What the bloody hell is causing that?!
