CICLOPS' Rev 49 Looking Ahead page is up. Highlights include a fourth monthy Voyager-class encounter with Tethys with 500m resolution over Odysseus (finally!)
Detailed mosaics of Rhea's prominent ray crater and points west are on tap for Old Scabby's second closeup. This should be a really cool periapsis passage to tide us over until the 10th of September. -------------------- ...if you don't like my melody, i'll sing it in a major key, i'll sing it very happily. heavens! everybody's all aboard? let's take it back to that minor chord...

You also have to wonder whether or not the whole fiasco was indeed a simple error. After all, we know that many people on the Cassini imaging team have been less than happy about feeling "forced" to release real-time images.
I'm not a big fan of paranoid speculation, truly... but I can just see a few specific people snickering to themselves and gloating, "Just let those &^%#@! UMSFer's try and scoop us to our pretty processed images with THIS stuff!" -the other Doug -------------------- “The trouble ain't that there is too many fools, but that the lightning ain't distributed right.” -Mark Twain
