The tour de force looks at how we measure our place in the universe based on the part of the universe we sense around us.Did an Asteroid Trigger the Great Dying?http://www.astrobio.net/news/article1322.htmlThe devastating cycles of plant and animal extinctions have spawned different schools of thought: Did the earth or the heavens bring catastropher?Splendid Saturnhttp://www.astrobio.net/news/article1321.htmlThe interplay of light and gravity feature in the shaping of Saturn's rings. As its moon orbit, they attract dust particles into fine bands or divisions. New images from the Cassini probe reveal both what the moons look like up close and also how they sculpt the planet's signature rings.Dust to Rocky Planetshttp://www.astrobio.net/news/article1320.htmlNew observations reveal how pristine, primordial dust aggregates to form rocky planets around other stars. One question astronomers would like to answer is how common such Earth-like planets are and whether solar system formation proceeds routinely around other stars.Wednesday, December 01 For more astrobiology news, visit http://www.astrobio.netTo unsubscribe, send subject UNSUBSCRIBE to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I've posted a collection at http://www.io.com/~iareth/spaceimages.htmlAll the descriptions are a little rough, since I've mostly been doing it for a few friends. I started this when I got Photoshop and realized how much easier it was to produce color composites in Photoshop than in Corel Photopaint.GreggAt 06:11 PM 11/30/2004, you wrote:Is your image available online somewhere?Larry- Original Message -From: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]Gregg GeistTo: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED][EMAIL PROTECTED]Sent: Tuesday, November 30, 2004 6:32 PMSubject: Re: One of the most amazing space photos I have ever seen...At 05:30 PM 11/30/2004, you wrote: I agree with you - but what is it? KeiraAs soon as I saw the three BW images on the Cassini raw pics site I made acomposite like this. (Mine is more orange than theirs, color balancedbased on what I see when I look at Saturn. Maybe they used the basic colordata, maybe we're both just guessing.) Anyway, I sent it to a few friendswho were very confused. The planet Saturn fills most of the frame. If youcould see the whole disk it would be ten times the size of theimage. North is up. The rings are being illuminated from below and to theright. The ring shadows are the streaks crossing the upper part of theplanet. The moon Mimas is visible in the foreground.Gregg==You are subscribed to the Europa Icepick mailing list: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED][EMAIL PROTECTED]Project information and list (un)subscribe info: http://klx.com/europa/http://klx.com/europa/==You are subscribed to the Europa Icepick mailing list: [EMAIL PROTECTED]Project information and list (un)subscribe info: http://klx.com/europa/
