Aimless In Space

My own suspicion is that the Universe is not only queerer than we suppose, but queerer than we can suppose.

The Return of the Rings!

NASA’s Cassini spacecraft has changed its orbit so it can see Saturn’s rings for the first time in about two years.

(1) The image above shows portions of the thin, ropy F ring and the outer A ring, which is split by the 202-mile (325-km) -wide Encke gap. The shepherd moon Pan can be seen cruising along in the gap along with several thin ringlets.
