The Cassini spacecraft delivers this stunning vista showing small,
battered Epimetheus and smog-enshrouded Titan, with Saturn's A and F
rings stretching across the scene.
The prominent dark region visible in the A ring is the Encke Gap, in
which the moon Pan and several narrow ringlets reside. Moon-driven
features that mark the A ring are easily seen to the left and right of
the Encke Gap. The Encke Gap is 325 kilometers (200 miles) wide. Pan is
26 kilometers (16 miles) across.
In an optical illusion, the narrow F ring, outside the A ring, appears to
fade across the disk of Titan. A couple of bright clumps can be seen in
the F ring.
Epimetheus is 116 kilometers (72 miles) across and giant Titan is 5,150
kilometers (3,200 miles) across.
The image was taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft
narrow-angle camera on April 28, 2006, at a distance of approximately
667,000 kilometers (415,000 miles) from Epimetheus and 1.8 million
kilometers (1.1 million miles) from Titan. The image captures the
illuminated side of the rings. The image scale is 4 kilometers (2 miles)
per pixel on Epimetheus and 11 kilometers (7 miles) per pixel on Titan.
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.

This view is part of a montage of images from the NASA Cassini and Voyager
missions shown in PIA07714. The inset image from the montage is presented
here by itself and in its original
orientation.
Cassini has observed the D-ring at much higher resolution than was
possible for Voyager, revealing surprising fine-scale structures. This
narrow-angle camera image was taken on May 21, 2005, and shows the region
between the D ring feature named D73 and the inner edge of the C-ring at
2 kilometer (1 mile) per pixel resolution. This region contains a periodic
wave-like structure with a wavelength of 30 kilometers (19 miles). The
faint horizontal bands in the image are instrumental artifacts.
The fine structure in the D-ring (visible here) could be related to
perturbations from the planet or its magnetic field. The Cassini results
provide information about the dynamics of ring particles in a new regime
-- one very close to the planet and sparsely populated by icy particles
the size of dust.

The International Space Station on a flyover of south-east Australia this morning during a 15 second exposure. The bright star under the Space Station trail is the Planet Jupiter.

The Space Needle reflected on the Experience Music Project Building. I thought this would be a different way of seeing the Space Needle. I think I'm right.
I took this photo with a Spartus 35, it gives an effect somewhat similar to that of some of the Lomo cameras. But you won't pay out the wazoo for one.
The Space Babies are setting off on their first adventure! These giant flowers are a great source of energy, but must be approached with caution!
This build debuted at BrickCan 2024, where it won the Alien Architect Award!
1/6 scale scratchbuilt raygun built in Rocketpunk style and designed around a matchbox. About 2 hours work broken up into a few minutes here, a few minutes there, etc. More designs to come.
This is the REAL thing, the duplicate that remained on the ground to duplicate and correct problems in space. Now seen in Wisconsin Dells!

Keith, Ryan, and I visited the Space Center while we were in Houston. I thought it a bit...undersized, but I still got lots of reference pictures of rocket engines and such. And it's always fun to learn a little more about spacecraft.
