For the 20th anniversary of the Neptune encounter, I've uploaded the official JPL animation of the flyby to YouTube:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PdBOZWB3iAI I have very fond memories of watching this clip over and over again as a rather eager 9-year old! Ian. -------------------- |

Mmm I love this stuff.
I have written a very quick page that uses the solar system simulator to show what Voyager 2 was seeing exactly 20 years ago: http://www.dmuller.net/realtime/imagesv2nep.php and don't forget, the 30th anniversary of the Pioneer 11 flyby at Saturn is coming up soon as well: http://www.dmuller.net/realtime/p11saturn....sion=pioneer11h -------------------- |

Cool, but I am surprised you left out the Titan encounter.

Cool, but I am surprised you left out the Titan encounter. Patience ... the timeline scrolls through the events, and only shows the next 15 events. Titan closest approach (not close at all actually) happened on the way out. Full, static timeline at http://www.dmuller.net/realtime/mission.ph...mp;appear=black -------------------- |
