I found it interesting to realize that the 10km altitude of that video above the moon is about the same altitude as jet planes fly above Earth. |

The image description mentions Tethys and Enceladus being visible, and I see them. A bit to the right of Enceladus is a smaller white spot; initially I wondered if this was a small moon, but I'd then expect it to be mentioned in the description. Emily's post mentions Jupiter and Mars being in the mosaic - is this one of them? There's another small white spot just below and to the left of the leftmost edge of the rings. Could that be the other of Jupiter/Mars? |

I love Emily Lakdawalla's scale solar system poster; it shows everything (except the sun) with a diameter of 400 km or more (planets, dwarf planets, and moons) in correct relative sizes with approximately true colour. She explains it here: http://www.planetary.org/blog/article/00003282/ . And you can buy copies of the poster here: http://www.cafepress.com/planetaryshop/7024823 (As you can see in the credits, some (most?) of the pictures were processed by posters here at unmannedspaceflight.) |

There's a news item on the Cassini website about the Nov. 6, 2011 flyby of Enceladus with synthetic aperture radar imaging, with a link to a video that shows the radar swath (overlaid on a non-radar image) and close-ups of two segments of the swath, as well as a link to one of the close-up segments. http://saturn.jpl.nasa.gov/news/newsreleas...elease20111201/ |

Images from Nov. 10-13 don't currently show up on the Dawn Image of the Day page (November), but they do show up on Photojournal. |

A glimpse of Vesta in colour! http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA14697 (Alongside a visual/infrared false-colour image of the same bit of terrain.) I wonder where on Vesta this is. |

Three new images this morning - the last three days all at once. I've noticed over the last couple weekends that on Saturday and Sunday new images show up over at Photojournal, but aren't added to the Dawn website until Monday along with Monday's picture. |
