after yesterday's post on triian, i was reminded of these great
images and article on the photography of the spacecraft
cassini arrived at saturn in 2004 for a four-year mission, but
was so successful that nasa gave it a two-year extension, to
september 2010. then, in february, nasa extended it a second
time for what it calls the solstice mission, lasting until saturn's
northern hemisphere summer in 2017.
the images being sent back are nothing short of spectacular
and for us, being part science nerds, are truly inspiring.
it definitely puts things in perspective. (maybe a bit too much
perspective.)
