Wasn't there something heading for Europa as well?

Never mind Saturn, Hubble can give us pics almost as good as the probe. Huygens and the probe to Triton is the real deal. I can't wait.

Yea , not long now...

More soup, for us i think... (but in reality there`s probably  a thick crust over the proposed hydrocarbon seas...)

If we can figure out a way of mining it, we may never need to worry about Oil again...

Made of wax perhaps?

I can't remember the title of the book but I know it was by Arthur C Clarke, about aristocracy from Titan visiting Earth for the 400th anniversary of the formation of the USA.  He paints quite a vision of Titan.

I'd love to know if there's a hydrocarbon soup waiting for Huygens when it lands.  I'm even more excited about whatever is going to greet our first robot lander on Europa.

I grew up reading Clarke... :-D

Hum,
i`m looking forward to the photos of Phoebe during a `flyby shooting` on june 11th... They should be startling (i always liked that moon), it`s another very strange and alien place i think.


 

[The US lasting another 200 years?
that`s why its in the fiction sections i suppose...]

Uhm, I meant Titan. Triton is a moon of Neptune. Why didn't anybody point that out? :-P
