Visions of Saturn

The National Maritime Museum exhibition, open until 31 August, of images from the Cassini-Huygens mission prompts the BBC to host an excellent audio slide-show narrated by Carl Murray, a member of the Cassini Imaging Team. Unfortunately it’s not embeddable so you’ll have to go there to view it. What is embeddable is a NewScientist video covering some of the same material, and more, selected and narrated by planetary scientist Carolyn Porco. Both feature the still stunning image of Sol eclipsed by Saturn noted here. And here’s a previous post on Cassini-Huygens which may also be of interest.

We are reader supported. Donate to keep Slugger lit!

For over 20 years, Slugger has been an independent place for debate and new ideas. We have published over 40,000 posts and over one and a half million comments on the site. Each month we have over 70,000 readers. All this we have accomplished with only volunteers we have never had any paid staff.

Slugger does not receive any funding, and we respect our readers, so we will never run intrusive ads or sponsored posts. Instead, we are reader-supported. Help us keep Slugger independent by becoming a friend of Slugger. While we run a tight ship and no one gets paid to write, we need money to help us cover our costs.

If you like what we do, we are asking you to consider giving a monthly donation of any amount, or you can give a one-off donation. Any amount is appreciated.
