    Very nice, but keep in mind that most/all of these pictures are combinations of several (edited) photos. It doesn't look like that when you fly past Saturn in "real life".

    We can do that? What about the return trip once you fly past it?

    That's the reason I wrote "real life" instead of real life :D

    Who was it that proved (way before sat or telescope images) that the rings of Saturn had to be made of individual particles rather than a solid mass? (did it by showing that a solid ring would become unstable and crash into the planet)

    Isaac Newton? - gravitational theory first hero, (but I think it was someone else)

    Well, that's a relief! Here I thought we were sending unnamed dozens of individuals on a one-way trip towards untold glory! :p:D

    Huygens or Cassini IIRC. Not sure about either one.

    Taking my Pentax 12x50 binoculars out on a cold, clear, winter night is amazing. I also have an old telescope. I can see the rings, but not like that... Sweet!
