Member No.: 4081	From the Cyclops Rev 130 http://www.ciclops.org/view/6340/Rev130 Looking Ahead description: 'Cassini will fly by the icy moon Enceladus, passing at an altitude of 99 kilometers (62 miles) on April 28 at 00:10 UTC. This is Cassini's 10th targeted encounter with Enceladus. Another encounter is planned for May 18 and three more are planned for the second half of 2010. No images are planned for this flyby.' Oh well, there's still an awesome simulation of the flyby to be had with the Celestia ver 1.6 program! This is an amazing free program http://www.shatters.net/celestia that can put you alongside Cassini as it flies by Enceladus. For a nice view select goto Cassini from the navigation menu and from the time menu set the time to 2010 Apr 28:00:10:30 and watch the flyby in real time. Experiment with the mouse and keyboard controls to get interesting viewpoints; a teaser sample is shown below. CassiniEnceladusApr28flyby.wmv ( 232.28K ) Number of downloads: 576
