National Geographic will have a story on the Cassini mission in its December 2006 issue and the editors of NG are hosting a poll on what story should be the cover story. Right now it is between the Cassini story, a story on the loss of Thracian gold, and a story on woodpeckers. The Cassini cover showcases the backlit Saturn mosaic taken last month. Right now the Cassini cover is losing to the Thracian cover 3,626 to 848 (the woodpecker cover is in a distant third).

here's the link: http://seabed.nationalgeographic.com/ngm/m...p;cover_index=2

Volcanopele,

I'm going to forward your message to the Cassini-Huygens mailing list, which I moderate. I'm sure we'll get a noticeable uptick in that number!
