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).

QUOTE LOL, I don't think you can anymore I think they took it down because the voting was causing an unnecessary strain on their servers. Yes I bet the woodpeckers hacked faster than what their server could manage.

I'm willing to bet that the cover will be a close-up of the magnificent but extremely endangered Patagonian Self-Igniting Flatulent Frog after this event...
 (Yes, unfortunately, that is the male's mating display...)

"Did National Geographic ever cover Galileo at Jupiter?"
I believe it was in the September 1999 issue, the one with the Brietling Orbiter on the cover. -------------------- ...if you don't like my melody, i'll sing it in a major key, i'll sing it very happily. heavens! everybody's all aboard? let's take it back to that minor chord...

Just got my copy of the December 2006 issue of National Geographic in the mail, with backlit Saturn on the cover! A pretty good article, focusing on the rings, the Huygens landing at Titan, and Enceladus.
