Icy Phoebe

The Cassini spacecraft has taken some incredible shots of Saturn’s mysterious moon Phoebe, during it’s flyby over the weekend. It’s good to see that Cassini’s cameras and other instruments are still working as expected after 7 years in the harsh vacum of space. Only 16 days to go now until showtime.

    Fantastic shots, incredible to think of what’s “out there” and “how” it all got came to be. Question though, Is there any cheese?

    And wait until we go to Titan; if the probe survives the entry into the atmosphere we may be suprised of what’s down there (I suspect no cheese though, not even Ricotta :)
