Very cool about Cassini and Saturn. http://www.pbs.org/video/front-row-seat-saturn-0vf9j2/

These are great photos from NASA on the eclipse. I especially like the ones of the ISS passing in front of the Sun

I am sure that Cassini will keep sending us info until the end. Even Voyager's fuel supply is getting low. What absolutely incredible missions they both have been!!! Sounds like Cassini's last duty will be to gulp and analyze Saturn's atmosphere. One last Cheers!!!

As it gulps Ammonia and Hydrogen... Here's a nice false color view of Saturn https://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/cassini/multimedia/pia14916.html

Those PBS videos are so well done...you get to wondering... How did they photograph Cassini flying by Enceladus ?! wow thanks for posting that one. Saw an excellent How the Universe Works ~ Starman...both are new on the SCI channel this week where you can watch them for free
One day, a cosmic disaster will make life on Earth impossible. To survive, we must find a new home amongst the stars. Scientists are already developing new propulsion systems to take us to these distant worlds. Also watched building a Space Ark, which was very cool. The craft was kind of like that one in Passengers with some interesting ideas on long term space travel! New on the SCI channel this week. -
They use CGI of course, to enhance the presentation. Or maybe, it's Paparazzi photos and footage they use.

Space Paparazzi I saw one photo that looked like the ISS going across the Sun in the eclipse...except it was Cassini across Saturn LOL

I'LL "LOOK OUT" FOR THE SUN...and the Moon....

Earth From Voyager 1 "There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world."

That photo is 1 pixel, if I remember correctly... RINGO Turn the Bus Around

I think Carl Sagan said that the earth was even smaller than the pixel. This recent APOD is way neat if you haven't seen it yet... https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/image/1709/voyager_modern_poster.jpg

Not yet any way.... I will try to paint that...it seems photoshopped? What do you think? One of God's miraculous and glorious spectacles, just for us all. ð???

Early this morning before the sunrise... The Moon was Awesome looking What a way to start the day With the moon so bright And by perception - it looked so Big in the Clear sky * it was so bright that it lit up much Of my yard. I thought the neighbor left their outside lights on... I walked out the door and then Saw that giant ball of a Moon A very clear morning - seemed to show the details of the moon. One of those you had to be there type of things. I hope others saw it with a good view.

I have also enjoyed the moon the past few nights. Resplendent in all its bright moon glory ð?? The sun shines so brightly now, on our rare moon, I think of the astronauts, bouncing and driving, in circles, Oh what a joy, joy, an astral cosmic delight!!!
