Rev 165 will feature the ‘movie stars’ of the Cassini mission Titan, Enceladus and Saturn. Described in Ciclops ‘Looking Ahead’ here http://www.ciclops.org/view/7190/Rev165 Cassini’s encounter with Titan and Saturn will be filmed with the WAC as a spectacular movie on the 6th of May during the distant Titan encounter. A sneak preview is provided below courtesy of the Solar System Simulator http://space.jpl.nasa.gov/. Should be awesome!

An underwhelming NAC view...


As a kid I stood in my garden, peering into my little 3" reflector, ignoring the taunts and jeers of the rest of the neighbourhood kids as I marvelled at the sight of Titan shining close to Saturn, looking like a tiny star... Never thought I'd live to see the day when a close-up, colour portrait of Titan, one of the most enigmatic, mysterious, fascinating moons in the solar system, was described as "underwhelming"...!!! laugh.gif

(But I know what you mean... wink.gif )
