  • Hyperion is so cool! Astronomy is truly an awesome field of science! I just wish we would put our funds and taxes into astronomy not ammo. We need to explore space as much as we can before we destroy ourselves and our planet! Maybe then mankind may appreciate the Earth more. I think we should go to Triton, the retrograde, geologically active moon of Neptune! Why not check it out? It may tell us if there is life in our Solar System (even though I do believe life is all over the Universe).

  • Spudnik??

  • Hey Saturn, my moon is better than your moon. - Earth. :P

    Jkjk though it looks like an old overcooked potato.

  • We should nickname it Spud. Looks like a potato to me.

  • @ianmtxvideo thumbs up if u just came from io9 :)

  • @AtomikNY thanks for the point. :)

  • @ronpack Cool dude! I love how you take the time to tell me that.

  • @MistaSantaClaus

    noone cares!

  • @TENJHOTENGE1 Also, it would have taken forever to transmit the data to Earth. The Cassini probe doesn't exactly have a fiber optic cable connecting it to the lab!

  • @TENJHOTENGE1 Because the pictures were taken to do science. A video camera wouldn't provide the resolution they need. Also, they took lots of different pictures with different filters to see the moon in different wavelengths of light (this is why the shading seems to change for no reason, especially at the end).
