The spectacularly successful Cassini mission to Saturn continues, though you see little mention of it in the lamestream media. On a recent pass near the Saturnian moon Enceladus,
Cassini captured many more images and science data – grist for the scientists trying to figure out what makes Enceladus tick. The image at right (as usual, click to enlarge) shows particle-and-water-vapor jets near the moon's south pole. The most intriguing finding to date: Enceladus might actually be a friendly place for carbon-based life.
I sure wish we had more Cassinis and fewer ISS picture windows...
