The first of these, as noted in the Rev110 Looking Ahead article, was a total eclipse of the Sun by Enceladus on Mimas. The images for this observation have now hit the ground: http://saturn.jpl.nasa.gov/photos/raw/rawi...?imageID=191652 http://saturn.jpl.nasa.gov/photos/raw/rawi...?imageID=191654 and of course several others. I guess I will leave you all to it... -------------------- &@^^!% Jim! I'm a geologist, not a physicist! The Gish Bar Times - A Blog all about Jupiter's Moon Io
