Enceladus-PIA07758.jpgThe "Fountains" of Enceladus58 visiteRecent Cassini images of Saturn's moon Enceladus backlit by the sun show the fountain-like sources of the fine spray of material that towers over the South Polar Region. This image was taken looking more or less broadside at the "tiger stripe" fractures observed in earlier Enceladus images. It shows discrete plumes of a variety of apparent sizes above the limb of the moon.

Japetus-N00042815.jpgApproaching Japetus55 visiteOriginal caption:"N00042815.jpg was taken on November 08, 2005 and received on Earth November 08, 2005. The camera was pointing toward Japetus at approximately 853.040 Km away and the image was taken using the CL1 and IR1 filters".
Giapeto, una Luna misteriosa come tutte, forse più di altre. La vedremo meglio? La conosceremo di più? Forse. Ma il prossimo fly-by è ancora lontano, nel futuro... (Sett. 10, 2007 - 1.227 Km ovvero, circa 762 miglia)
Nota: osservate, con il frame a full-size, l'apparente Polo Nord di Giapeto e la sua configurazione superficiale. Semplicemente incredibile...

Dione-PIA07746.jpgDione (full view - natural colors)57 visiteNoi siamo d'accordo sul fatto che Scienza e Tecnica (in questo campo specifico) si debbano costruire su basi "matematiche" (o, se preferite, su "elementi fattuali esatti ed incontrovertibili"); ciò su cui NON siamo d'accordo, però, è quella tendenza (ormai diffusa e radicata in tutti gli ambienti Scientifici, a cominciare dalle Università) che vuole costruire TUTTA la Scienza e la Tecnica su basi ESCLUSIVAMENTE matematiche (nel senso anzidetto). La Scienza, infatti, non può prescindere - per essere di vero aiuto all'Uomo - dall'Umanesimo. E dire Umanesimo non significa dire (solo) Letteratura. Umanesimo è "tutto ciò che fa parte dell'Uomo e che contribuisce al suo crescere ed al suo evolversi", secondo noi. Dunque l'Umanesimo comprende anche la Scienza (e la Tecnica), ma NON viceversa. Costruire Scienziati su basi esclusivamente matematiche, quindi, vuol dire - a nostro modesto parere - costruire degli 'Scienziati Incompleti'. Il che vuol anche dire formare degli 'Uomini Incompleti', con tutto ciò che segue.
