New press release by the imaging team:
Cassini Pinpoints Hot Sources of Jets on Enceladus October 10, 2007 (Source: Space Science Institute) CICLOPS link to the release here. One thing I was curious about tiger stripe naming - why didn't they switch "Baghdad" and "Cairo" so we have a nice A,B,C,D progression? I can only imagine it was done on purpose, but why? -------------------- |

I am right there with you, Craig. Actually, I am dreaming of high-tech gondolas carrying tourists among the caverns. Of course, a hydrobot/cryobot would do just fine. If these things do exist, they will be among the most wondrous environments discovered by the scientific imagination.
I wonder if Cassini's radar could try to catch a reflection off the pools? |
