...and that one's going straight to the blog. Absolutely amazing work with the raw JPEGs, Gordan.


I just posted about it as well, with a description of some of the sights. Gordan, this was an AMAZING piece of work! And Emily, thanks for linking to it; I saw it first in your tweet and blog. I credit you, of course. smile.gif

[Sorry to misspell your first name in the URL!] My favorite part (besides the steep angle lowering the usual elliptical appearance of the rings) is seeing Prometheus and Pandora to the upper right of the F ring. Astonishing, on this scale.

Machi, those "Storm and Shadow" clips are AMAZING! Would you be willing to put them up on YouTube or Vimeo so I could embed them on my blog? I really enjoy pointing out motion and dynamic actions from space.

If anyone has any juice with Phil Plait, aka The Bad Astronomer, you might let him know that his blog entry contains an error regarding the IAU-approved name for S/2005 P 2. I posted a comment there a few days ago but to no avail, apparently.


Alex, I missed your comnment. Sorry! But you are right, and I corrected the misspelling. The original press release that I saw had both spellings! When I looked it up, Nyx was the obvious correct spelling, ironically. But that was already in use for an asteroid, so they used Nix.

Thanks for the kind words, folks. I was very interested to hear what the new results would be; I know a few people on WMAP, and I worked briefly on COBE before it. The results appear to conflict on some level with Bradley Schaeffer's work on using gamma-ray bursts to determine the cosmological (maybe not so) constant. I love a new field of astronomy! It's always really exciting to watch as new ideas unfold.
