I love astronomy! I've kept up with the cassini mission since june! At 8:00 P.m central, they're going to be showing what happened on the science channel.

I don't know yet. The higher picture looks like it's got compression artifacts in it, unless they're small craters. If they're craters, the dark 'stuff' is plains, not liquid. But we'll have 2 see what later releases show.
They should have more than 300 pic2res. The probe 2k something like 2 hours 2 descend on the parachute, and lasted 2 more hours on the surface.
VEry cool! (like 2 or 3oo below zero F!)
BRRRRR!!!!

Pep, Who says the space missions don't have a practical bent? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> These are really cool, been waiting a long for them. Now we need the REAL data. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" /> JL

2L, No I didn't. Is it from Earth? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" /> It is only fair don't ya think? Have to admit I have been focusing on the Titan and Cassini stuff. JL

It's likely nickel-iron, so unless it's from Detroit, it doesn't look like it!

Sweet, I love astronomy too....I actually didn't know what "Titan" was (Hey said I loved it, not that I was knowledgable about it LOL) but now know it's a moon of Saturn.....how sweet is that!!!!! I used to have tons of hubble images saved, but then my computer had a meltdown, so they're all gone.....I know I can get 'em back, just haven't done it yet. I especially like the Nebula pics...they are SOOOO cool!!! -Caren Hubble Telescope Pics

Does anyone know anything about the radio channel that failed? One of the scientists from ESA was saying that they didn't get as much imaging imformation (I think) as they hoped, because only one channel worked. I presume that's about Cassini? Does this mean that they got less information about other things, too?
I have a fear that the metallic object on Mars will turn out to be Beagle (missing British Mars lander)...

Oh, i see I was mistaken earlier. I was refering to the meteorite that was found on earth that came from mars. Now we found one on mars? Did it come from earth? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

Ok, now to this novice, I saw a bad colon xray followed by a bunch of stones...... then I saw a CA coastline and then fog..... now is this Titan or the alien planet where the mothership originated? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/tongue.gif" /> L. BTW, those hubble pixs were awesome. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />
