Cassini-Huygens closing in

mood: great
music: Devils & Angels -- Toby Lightman

------------------------------------------
The Cassini-Huygens probe is nearing Saturn; it's due to approach the tiny, mysterious moon Phoebe tomorrow. You can read all about it at
http://saturn.jpl.nasa.gov/index.cfm. You can also see one of my favorite Don Dixon works, "Cassini's Division" in the gallery at Sci-fi Arizona.

One thing I learned today: Currently, Saturn has 31 known moons. But this count could change during Cassini's four-year mission.
