I try to avoid linking to my own blog (figuring that if you guys think something's worthwhile you'll post a link, else not!), but in doing so today it's only to point you all to some amazing detective work done by another UMSFer, Ted Stryk:
An "amateur" discovers moons in old Voyager images

Ted that an amazing find congratulations on your discovery!!! I made a 4 frame animation from your image.

How do you get access to the Voyager 2 data? would you be interested in doing a interview on one of our radio shows?

I think it is amazing to find data that has been over looked and look forward to more discoveries.
