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? -------------------- |

In the Geophysical Research Abstracts, Postberg et al. claim to have found Na in the plumes.
Sodium Salts in Ice Grains from Enceladus' Plumes This was picked up by the New Scientist, MSNBC and the BBC. (See my posts in the October 31 thread (I don't seem to be able to insert links correctly)) I would love to see a discussion of this finding is relation to the current news. |
