Saturn-PIA09913.jpgJust a Matter of "Proportions"...55 visiteCaption NASA:"A great, eye-like vortex stares out of Saturn's roiling atmosphere. The storm is wide enough to span the distance from Washington, DC to London. Bright Enceladus drifts past in the foreground.
This view looks toward the unilluminated side of the Rings from about 3° above the Ring-Plane.

The image was taken with the Cassini Spacecraft wide-angle camera on April 23, 2008 using a combination of spectral filters sensitive to wavelengths of polarized infrared light centered at 752 nanometers. The view was acquired at a distance of approx. 1,3 MKM (such as about 783.000 miles) from Saturn.
Image scale is roughly 72 Km (about 45 miles) per pixel".MareKromium

Saturn-PIA09917.jpgFrom farther North, than the North Pole...55 visiteCaption NASA:"Myriad vortices churn through Saturn's high Northern Latitudes while Dione's shadow drifts across the gas giant's face.
This view looks toward the unilluminated side of the Rings from about 43° above the Ring-Plane.

The image was taken with the Cassini Spacecraft wide-angle camera on May 7, 2008 using a spectral filter sensitive to wavelengths of infrared light centered at 752 nanometers.
The view was obtained at a distance of approx. 1,2 MKM (about 760.000 miles) from Saturn. Image scale is roughly 69 Km (about 43 miles) per pixel".MareKromium

TheRings-N00114226-N00114326.gifThe Rings, with "noise", "cosmic rays" and "unknown objects" - GIF Movie (credits: Dr Gianluigi Barca)55 visiteUno splendido filmato GIF il quale, oltre a darci la sensazione visiva del "movimento" degli Anelli (rectius: di Cassini rispetto agli Anelli), ci fornisce un gran numero di esempi di possibili Anomalìe e "disturbi" di segnale.

In tre parole: un Filmato Didattico. Congratulazioni, come sempre, al Dr Barca!

...e per gli Esperti: riuscite a distinguere alcune "Spikes"?MareKromium

PHOE-SOL022-PIA10905.jpgSnow-White - Sol 22 (MULTISPECTRUM; credits: Lunexit)55 visiteCaption NASA:"NASA's Phoenix Mars Lander began excavating a new trench, dubbed "Snow White", in a patch of Martian Soil located near the center of a polygonal surface feature, nicknamed "Cheshire Cat".
The trench is about 2 cm (0,8") deep and 30 cm (about 12") long.

The "dump pile" is located at the top of the trench, the side farthest away from the Lander, and has been dubbed "Croquet Ground". The digging site has been named "Wonderland".

At this early stage of digging, the Phoenix team did not expect to find any of the white material seen in the first trench, now called "Dodo-Goldilocks". That trench showed white material at a depth of about 5 cm (approx. 2"). More digging of Snow White is planned for coming Martian Days.
The dark portion of this image is the shadow of the Lander's Solar Panel; the bright areas within this region are not in shadow.

Snow White was dug on Sol 22 (June 17, 2008) with Phoenix's Robotic Arm. This picture was acquired on the same day by the lander's Surface Stereo Imager. This image has been enhanced to brighten shaded areas". MareKromium
