Hubble snaps Saturn
Now that the Mars craze is over, we have to turn our attention to something else; how about Saturn? the ringed planet does look spectacular in the telescope and Hubble recently took some snaps. Is that more impressive than Mars? you bet! (it almost looks ‘cartoonish’). And to add to the excitment, the Cassini spacecraft is on it’s way there to search for signs of life on Titan, Saturn’s largest moon. July 2004 is the anticipated date.

Ah yes good ‘ol Galileo… it will actually crash into Jupiter (it has been orbiting the gas giant since 1995), It has come at the end of it’s mission, exceeding all expectations. Too bad we won’t be able to see it!
