carolyn porco presents her work with the cassini imaging team in this stunning TEDtalks video:
http://toomanytribbles.blogspot.com/2007/10/fly-me-to-moons.html

two quotes from that talk:

'the journey back to saturn is really part of and is also a metaphor for a much larger human voyage to understand the interconnectedness of everything around us and also how humans fit into that picture.'

and

'there is something deeply moving about seeing ourselves from afar and capturing the sight of our little blue ocean planet through the skies of other worlds -- and that, and the perspective of ourselves that we gain from that, may be, in the end, the finest reward that we earn from this journey of discovery that started half a century ago.'

  • as much as i love neptune, i am perpetually astounded by saturn. these crisp, clear photos of her, her rings (and the enormous shadows cast upon the planet) are truly breathtaking. how insanely cool would it be to get in the actual vicinity of such a massive planet? the (emotional) gravity would simply crush me...

  • @LtStarkiller saturn is merely a planet, while brittany is a star!!! (sound of me vomiting all over my keyboard...)

  • i'm sorry to say so, but it was there from the beginning.

  • oops, it says in the description... please tell me it was't there 6 months ago. I hate when people don't check the description before asking questions.

  • lol, 6 months delay. Thanks, I just dowloaded it, it's great.

  • vangelis' mythodea, movement I

  • Brrrrravo !!! very exciting movements and excellent music choice ! Humans are coming to explore . Bravo!

    Artistic !

  • Who cares... some follow the masses of this world... whilst others explore outside the realm of grasp of media. It's all about discovery.
