Dione, Hyperion, Tethys, and Prometheus - only 4 of Saturn's many (60 and counting) beautiful moons. These haunting images were captured by the International Cassini-Huygens mission now visiting the Saturn system.

Saturn has been called the "Jewel of the Solar System" because of its beautiful rings and many (60 and counting) moons. These images were captured by the International Cassini-Huygens mission currently visiting the Saturnian System.

Titan : une Terre de méthane Après avoir rappelé que Cassini-Huygens représentait « la mission robotisée la plus complexe jamais entreprise » et qu'elle était « un bel exemple de coopération internationale », Jean Pierre Lebreton est revenu sur les données du voyage comme l'utilisation par Cassini de l'assistance gravitationnelle pour atteindre le système de Saturne : 7 ans de voyage, 2 passages autour de Vénus et 2 passages autour de la Terre avant d'atteindre la zone d'Encelade et de Titan (pour une distance Terre-Titan de 1,2 milliard de kilomètres, Cassini a en réalité parcouru 3 milliards de kilomètres avant d'atteindre sa cible). Il a ensuite énuméré les principaux résultats obtenus sur Titan à l'aide des 8 survols de Cassini – 37 restent à venir ! - et du parachutage de Huygens dans son atmosphère : * Le cycle du méthane sur Titan est semblable au cycle hydrologique sur la Terre : « Titan ressemble comme deux gouttes de méthane à la Terre » ; * Les UV du soleil et les particules chargées de l'environnement ionisé de Saturne induisent une chimie organique très évoluée dans l'atmosphère de Titan ; * Les aérosols sont le siège d'une chimie complexe : dans l'atmosphère, le méthane et le diazote se recomposent pour former une famille d'hydrocarbures qui envahissent l'atmosphère, se condensent au-dessus de la tropopause et retombent sous forme de pluie à la surface, formant un dépôt de plusieurs centaines de mètres ; * L'atmosphère est épaisse, riche en azote et en méthane, et c'est un « monde idéal » pour une descente en parachute. Jean Pierre Lebreton a d'ailleurs ajouté à ce sujet que « ces missions futures utiliseront très certainement un système de rentrée (NDLR : Avec un bouclier thermique profilé pour l'entrée dans l'atmosphère) et un système de parachute pour descendre à la surface .»Author: timanou76 Tags: Titan lune de saturne cassini huygens explication en image Posted: 14 April 2008 Rating: 0.0 Votes: 0

This life-like movie sequence captures Saturn's rings during a ring plane crossing--which Cassini makes twice per orbit--from the spacecraft's point of view. The movie begins with a view of the sunlit side of the rings. As the spacecraft speeds from south to north, the rings appear to tilt downward and collapse to a thin plane, and then open again to reveal the un-illuminated side of the ring plane, where sunlight filters through only dimly. The striking contrast between the sunlit and unlit sides of the ring plane can now be fully appreciated, thanks to the sense of continuity in time and space provided by this brief clip. The movie consists of 34 images taken over the course of 12 hours as Cassini pierced the ring plane. Additional frames were inserted between the original images in order to smooth the motion in the sequence -- a scheme called interpolation. Six moons careen through the field of view during the sequence. The first large one is Enceladus, whose slanted motion from the upper left to center right nicely illustrates the inclination of its orbit with respect to the rings. The second large one, seen in the second half of the movie, is Mimas, going from right to left. This movie begins with a view looking toward the lit side of the rings from about 9 degrees below the ring plane. It ends when the spacecraft is 8 degrees above the ring plane. The clear-filter images in this movie sequence were taken with the Cassini spacecraft wide-angle camera on Jan. 17, 2007, at a distance of approximately 900,000 kilometers (500,000 miles) from Saturn. Image scale is 48 kilometers (30 miles) per pixel. Author: Brallan92 Keywords: Cassini Huygens The Great Crossing Added: February 22, 2008

http://saturn.jpl.nasa.gov/home/index.cfm\\r\\n The story of the international Cassini-Huygens mission to Saturn and Titan is a compelling tale: a tale in which new chapters are written every month. Halfway into the prime mission, over 100,000 raw images, nearly 2,000 press images, 100 videos and 500 news releases are available for the people to use. Cassini outreach wants to help museums and informal educators find the most up-to-date programming. Please, visit our NASA website for more info about this fascinating history. But for now, you can see this introductory video.

The Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, manages the Cassini-Huygens mission for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington, D.C. The imaging team consists of scientists from the US, England, France, and Germany. The imaging operations center and team lead (Dr. C. Porco) are based at the Space Science Institute in Boulder, Colo.

A pure audio blog episode with life updates, Rebecca's play list, more race talk, and thoughts on the recent Tranny Wreck RAW

Christiaan Huygens from the Saturn Cast and the Unsane Cast joins me along with pre-op crack-whore-voice Rebecca to discuss why Forrest is the ONLY woman on The Freak Network. We also suspect that Christiaan is a fraud.

The Cassini-Huygens mission to Saturn and Titan, jointly developed by NASA and the European Space Agency, transmitted sound to Earth from farther away in the solar system than any space expedition ever had before. In this podcast, hear research scientist and Planetary Society education director Bruce Betts explain how and what Cassini and Huygens recorded. This podcast was produced by David Levin and Lexi Krock. Audio editing by David Levin. NOVA is produced by WGBH in Boston. Major funding for NOVA is provided by Google and BP. Special funding for NOVA podcasts is provided by the MacArthur Foundation. For more on Saturn's moon Titan, visit http://www.pbs.org/nova/titan

Cassini-Huygens has provided stunning otherworldly images of Saturn and its moons.
