Cassini Probe Finds Death Star
I just couldn't resist posting this item:
Astrobiology Magazine reports that the Cassini space probe has taken some images of "one of the ringed planet's natural wonders: Mimas.... [which] bears a striking resemblance to the Star Wars' Death Star, which wrecked havoc on planets using its laser-focusing dish. In place of the laser dish, Mimas carries a crater peak the size of Mount Everest."
Thanks to TD from the Dads-at-Home Yahoo Group for passing on the link.
And speaking of Cassini, last week I came across this very cool, natural color image of Saturn's rings on the CICLOPS site.
