and that's why space exploration is a good use of money!

Cassini is fucking awesome.

that dodgy moon with the equatorial ridge (also one bright face, one fark face - caused by captured rotation and dust and shit) is Iapetus.

that's no moon!

Shit like this is what makes you go "what the fuck?" when thinking about the universe.

I spot a troll.

its an alien base. earth is the zoo planet.

its rotational period appears to be the same as that of saturn's solid core

saturn's rotational period is approximated by radio signals emitted by is magnetic field, which
