What Does It All Mean, Basil? Which way is it pointing? I wish the picture had been taken from a better angle, but I see it. The Cassini Probe has given me many lovely picture posts, like this and this. This arrow shaped cloud is, alas, not directions to the party that the cool kids [...]

Nothing Like The Sun. My Favorite Picture From The Cassini Probe.

Gorgeous, no? The view from Cassini is of Enceladus, with it’s water geysers, in the foreground. The horizontal line is a Saturnian ring, and then Titan in the back. You can see the halo of Titan’s atmosphere. I think there is life there.

Coolest Shit Ever: Pictures Of Saturns Moon Enceladus From The Cassini Probe, and New Evidence Of The Possibility For Life There.

I love the moon Enceladus, Youdopia. I love it because it orbits Saturn, the prettiest planet, although Neptune is breathtaking (no thank you. I don’t want to see your Uranus) and… Enceladus may very well have life. Enceladus shoots plumes of liquid water vapor, along with hydrocarbons (organic material) from its surface. There is likely [...]
