Only 26 days until Cassini inserts itself into Saturn's orbit!!! I am so giddy with excitement I can barely contain myself! (no joke) ... We are talking about the surface mapping of all Saturn's 31 moons as well as Saturn's surface - assuming it has a surface - and the compound analysis of it's atmosphere and the material making up it's infamous rings. The next few months is said to be like an episode of Star Trek. I will be glued to the Science and NASA channels...
If you want to learn more about the mission, here is a link.

Anyone care to theroize what the terrain on Titan will look like when the Huygens probe descends through it's atomosphere? I have a feeling that this is one of the places in our solar system where life exists - or existed at some point it time.
