Photos from another world

    By Jack Grant

Titan appears to have some kind of liquid present on the surface. This is very important, because it is hypothesized that it is much easier for life of any type, not just that we are familiar with, to form in the presence of liquids.

The image archive for the Cassini-Huygens mission to Saturn and the moon Titan is here.

Here is the first color image from the surface:

A composite panorama made up of images taken during the descent can be found here.

Thank you! I had heard about the pictures and was going to go searching for them. Instead... you have the links. I appreciate it.

Random Fate - latest posts

We don't handle randomness well.
   -Dr. Lucy Jones


Trying to hold the center in not so quiet desperation while the left and the right do their damnest to tear everything apart.

What Others Say
An American transplanted to France for the moment, Jack is sometimes conservative, sometimes liberal, and almost always right.
   -Pennywit

Jack has an impressive knowledge of history, politics, and Keanu Reeves. When it comes to pirates, Jack is waaay sexier than that pansy Dread Pirate Roberts. Oh, wait--I'm thinking of Jack Sparrow...
   -Jennifer (Jennifer's History and Stuff)

Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the center cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
   -William Butler Yeats, January 1919


Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.
   -Dandemis

Wahabism Delenda Est
Wahabism must be destroyed.
