possible chemical similarities between the materials on Phoebe and
those seen on comets," said VIMS team leader Robert H. Brown of the
University of Arizona...
>>...That Phoebe likely comes from the Kuiper belt and not from the
Mars-Jupiter asteroid belt is another "first" for the Cassini mission,
Brown noted. Cassini has become the first spacecraft to flyby a Kuiper
belt object, he said...
Congratulations to this group, big time, what a feat and imaging going over the spoils of victory !! ... though it may have slipped by or not considered (??) Voyager 2's 40,000 km flyby of Triton a "Kuiper" object, but if this were really a "first" prize for Cassini, then what would that be for Stardust's Wild(2) daring 236 km flyby?, chopped liver? :)
Saludos, Doug
