Cassini !

[FluffyMcDeath]

It's almost there ...

Cassini nears Saturn (http://news.scotsman.com/international.cfm?id=606512004)

Wasn't there something heading for Europa as well?

[KennyR]

Never mind Saturn, Hubble can give us pics almost as good as the probe. Huygens and the probe to Triton is the real deal. I can't wait.

Yea , not long now...

More soup, for us i think... (but in reality there`s probably a thick crust over the proposed hydrocarbon seas...)

MMMMMMM... hydrocarbons.... gargle :-D

If we can figure out a way of mining it, we may never need to worry about Oil again...

Made of wax perhaps?

I can't remember the title of the book but I know it was by Arthur C Clarke, about aristocracy from Titan visiting Earth for the 400th anniversary of the formation of the USA. He paints quite a vision of Titan.

I'd love to know if there's a hydrocarbon soup waiting for Huygens when it lands. I'm even more excited about whatever is going to greet our first robot lander on Europa.

I grew up reading Clarke... :-D

Hum,
i`m looking forward to the photos of Phoebe during a `flyby shooting` on june 11th... They should be startling (i always liked that moon), it`s another very strange and alien place i think.




[The US lasting another 200 years?
that`s why its in the fiction sections i suppose...]

[KennyR]

Uhm, I meant Titan. Triton is a moon of Neptune. Why didn't anybody point that out? :-P
