Mr Afanasiev - cosmonaut who flew back to earth with British astronaut Helen Sharman

The Cassini spacecraft spies two types of waves in Saturn's A ring: a spiral density wave on the left of the image and a more pronounced spiral bending wave near the middle.See PIA10501 to learn more about these two kinds of waves. The slight pixelation visible near the brightest and darkest lines is an unavoidable result of the size of the camera's sensor and of image processing.This view looks toward the northern, sunlit side of the rings from about 21 degrees above the ringplane.The image was taken in visible green light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on Jan. 11, 2010. The view was obtained at a distance of approximately 279,000 kilometers (173,000 miles) from Saturn and at a Sun-Saturn-spacecraft, or phase, angle of 18 degrees. Image scale is about 1 kilometer (1 mile) per pixel.The Cassini-Huygens mission is a cooperative project of NASA, the European Space Agency and the Italian Space Agency. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, manages the mission for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington, D.C. The Cassini orbiter and its two onboard cameras were designed, developed and assembled at JPL. The imaging operations center is based at the Space Science Institute in Boulder, Colo.For more information about the Cassini-Huygens mission visit saturn.jpl.nasa.gov.

The first Space Shuttle orbiter, Enterprise is a full-scale test vehicle used for flights in the atmosphere and tests on the ground. Officially designated Orbiter Vehicle 101 (OV-101), Enterprise is not equipped for spaceflight. It has no propulsion systems and only simulated thermal tiles.
In 1977 Enterprise completed approach and landing tests at NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center in California: It was flown atop a Boeing 747 carrier airplane and also released for piloted descents to check out its systems and performance. It later underwent launch vibration tests and fit checks at other NASA centers. Although Enterprise never flew in space, it introduced a new era in space transportation and was the flagship for a fleet of reusable shuttles. The Smithsonian acquired Enterprise in 1985.
I was lucky enough to be in LA last Friday when the Space Shuttle Endeavour was moving from LAX to the LA Museum. It was amazing to see the shuttle that close. My only regret was not having my 40D with me.

This is an artist concept of a close-up view of Saturn's ring particles.
The planet Saturn is seen in the background (yellow and brown). The
particles (blue) are composed mostly of ice, but are not uniform. They
clump together to form elongated, curved aggregates, continually forming
and dispersing. The space between the clumps is mostly empty. The largest
individual particles shown are a few meters (yards) across. Image by Marty
Peterson, based on a 1984 image by William K. Hartmann. Hartmann's image
illustrated early research by Stuart Weidenschilling and co-workers at the
Planetary Science Insitute, on dynamical ephemeral bodies in Saturn's rings.
The Cassini-Huygens mission is a cooperative project of NASA, the European
