Cassini vs Hubble
As we draw closer and closer each day to Cassini’s Saturn Obrit Insertion (effectively when the spacecraft is in orbit around the ringed planet) on July 1st, Hubble and Cassini are taking photos non-stop. Spaceflight Now compares some great shots taken from Cassini’s narrow-angle camera (from 20 million kilometers away) and Hubble’s camera (from a little than billion miles farther away). The rings around the planet are always a great site through any telescope! I just can’t wait for the Huygens probe to descent through Titan’s atmosphere; what sort of weirdness will it reveal? perhaps signs of life?
