That I can vouch for. My favorite is one that looks over the horizon, with the rough mountains on one side, and the smooth ice plains on the other, with the layered haze hanging over it all. I have to say that it's likely the most beautiful landscape I've ever seen in the solar system (though I wouldn't want to go there, it's bloody cold - mind you, I entered my name on the disc they put in the NH probe... so I was there, after a fashion...).ponylady wrote:these images are amazing,
Gerasimenko is the easiest part of its name. I just call it "the comet"... They absolutely had to go to a comet with a long Russian name!ponylady wrote:rosetta observed a distinct jet on ...-gerasimenko (sorry, i'm doing this post from the top of my head) as it is nearing it's perihelion.
Not bad for a tiny ice world barely 500 km in diameter. Amazing what a decent gravity massage can do - global subsurface oceans, giant ice geysers laced with organic chemicals (as one scientist put it, there was a big sign with "Free Samples" hanging there, and Cassini obliged).ponylady wrote:enceladus must have a global liquid water ocean beneath it's surface.
Yup. A couple of weeks ago it was nearly Armageddon for them - they predicted (and insisted on it) a partly sunny day on a Saturday, with rain only moving in for the evening. It started raining in the morning and didn't let up. Even as it rained, they stuck to their forecast. Anyone there think of looking out the window?Blacky wrote:Looks like the folks at the weather office are relatively safe for now.
