to Saturn arrived in June of 2004, and isn't in the news anymore. But the little (22 feet high and 13 feet wide) spacecraft is still on the job and doing science every minute. It's hard to decide which recently released image to point you to. This one? That one? Or the mosaic full portrait of Saturn? This post could be entitled "The Pleasures of the Web, part III". Or, "Science Live". With weather sites (or here) showing us every move of major storms; live solar xray images (or here); Web cameras showing us wildlife and auroras and tides; NASA pages like the Cassini pages, giving us images we'd once have had to wait months for and then only see if someone nearby had a subscription to Scientific American; earthquakes; and on and on: choose your science, and then luxuriate in the information you can find out there. PS They banded and named the peregrine babies yesterday. :-)
