After Cassini has re-established contact after its first pass between Saturn and its rings I found this and thought you guys would like to see them too:

Thanks for that, DD. Sad to see her go, but what a spectacular way to do so! :thumbsup:

BTW, here's a nice article (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-4446686/Cassini-prepares-death-dive-Saturn-s-rings.html) about Cassini's final orbits, including a really cool infographic. My final project for my Illustrator class is an infographic, and I plan on doing one very similar to this about the Apollo missions that reached the moon. I'll post an image of it when I get it finished.

Look forward to it Dave

And Wow, the daily mail is actually useful for something other than blaming everything on immigrants  :LOL:
