Cassini's Got Pictures And Data

Posted by Zonk on from the mmmm-data dept.

MythMoth writes "To celebrate the anniversary of the Cassini-Huygens probe's orbital insertion, NASA's JPL has a set of fifteen amazing photos from the past year. Meanwhile, the BBC reports that some of the latest science data from the mission reveals that Saturn's ring system has its own (thin) O2 atmosphere, and that the planet's rotation seems to be slowing!"

    There were several ways you could have asked that question without being utterly disrepectful, and without sounding like you're lashing out at the world.

    The people you're talking about are hardworking and dedicated people at the forefront of exploration. If the sequence of their efforts at exploration isn't logical to you, consider the possibility that you lack key information fueling your basic assumptions, and frame your question with that in mind.

    Otherwise, it's more difficult for the people who know the answers to cull the question from the troll.
