NASA Releases First Images of Cassini's Dive Through the Geyser of Enceladus (examiner.com)

Posted by timothy on from the taking-a-quick-shower dept.

MarkWhittington writes: NASA released the first images from Cassini's dive two days earlier into the geyser that is erupting water and ice particles through fissures in the icy crust of Saturn's moon Enceladus from what is presumed to be a salty ocean underneath. The space probe, which has been orbiting Saturn for the past several years, survived the encounter. Scientists are eagerly awaiting the data that will be returned from the passage, which should be made available in a week or two.

  1. Nasa's article page is weird by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 3, Insightful

    There are 19 other stories below, wasting bandwidth. When you scroll down to another story, the URL in the address bar changes, which totally breaks user expectations. It's overengineered crap, which is probably a sign that their webdev team is too big or too well-funded. What's wrong with a normal hyperlinked website? Too boring for web developers?
