I recorded on my handy-dandy DVR a very nice special that ran last night on Discovery's Science Channel. It's entitled "Rendezvous with Saturn's Moon" and covers both Cassini and Huygens mission events and science results to date.

I think I may even have spotted our own Jason Perry in one shot, when they were talking about the ISS team. I could be wrong, but this one guy looked rather like the picture Jason linked to a few days ago. He was one of three people talking about a Titan image -- one of the other two people was identified as Elizabeth Turtle.

Was that you, Jason?

Maybe. Were we sitting around a computer terminal with two Sun microsystem screens? One of the screens is labeled "Tethys"? Was the other person in the shot a woman, shorter than either Elizabeth or I, with long black hair? If so, we have a winner.

I saw that show last night on the Science Channel too. I recall several times I thought I saw Jason: A scene of two or three people standing, but by the time I realized it might be Jason, the camera moved and all there was of him was just a small portion of glasses and hair edging into the screen. During the lengthy interview with Elizabeth Turtle in the foreground, I thought it was Jason sitting in the background at a large CRT, facing away from the camera most of the time... but every now and then he would look to the left (toward another monitor?), and it seemed like him. I didn't notice someone else sitting there... they may have been off camera to the left (behind Elizabeth).

Too bad I didn't realize it was this show... I could have taped it and provided some screen shots. Next time, Jason, you'll have to do the interview!

Maybe he was making sure no one saw him online here laugh.gif
