Here’s a picture Cassini took of Earth as a point of light between Saturn’s rings… as always, click on the pic for the .tif download…
Earth as a point of light between Saturn’s rings, taken by Cassini on April 12, 2017. Cassini was 870,000,000 miles away from Earth at the time.
This is just amazing. B.B. King and David Gilmour, playing the Blues together.
King solos first, followed immediately by Gilmour, starting at 1:19 and ending 2:52.
Enjoy!
I have to be honest… my Star Wars fandom was a late-bloomer. Although I largely agree with people that the prequel trilogy was… well… crap, that’s also when I became aware of Star Wars, and found myself interested in it… which is why I will never hate the prequel trilogy as much as some others do.
And of course I loved The Force Awakens and Rogue One, I can’t wait for The Last Jedi, and I’m actually looking forward to the Han Solo movie, as well.
We’re going to be getting a lot of Star Wars films going into the future, too. One every year. And there are rumors that Disney is looking at Netflix for live-action Star Wars series, which would also be incredible. So, of course, many many people have discussed what anthologies they’d want to see.
Featured here are three videos discussing anthology wish lists. The first two videos are in fact connected, as they’re a collaboration. The third video is a completely separate/independent video on the same topic. Then I’ll follow that up with two subjects I personally want to see explored in live-action form…
Snerk:
(Quick apologies to the non-meat-eaters out there. You can skip this one, too, if you wish. This video and post is all about steak. And they do give a name to the final steak, basically personalizing the cow, which even I thought was a line too far…)
Here’s an early one, and yeah, there’ll be another one at 12, and maybe even a third one later on today…
(Hey vegans, vegetarians, and other non-meat eaters! Just wanted to let you know that they eat burgers, here. So feel free to skip it if you want.)
This, to be honest, is really sad for me.
Saturn has always been my favorite planet, so Cassini holds a very special place in my heart. I love Cassini. I follow it on Twitter, and follow updates very closely. Cassini has been in space for 20 years, and at Saturn 13 years. It’s been an amazing run, with so many incredible findings about Saturn and it’s wondrous and fascinating moons.
But time is running out. Cassini is running out of fuel. So NASA has planned a Grand Finale. An epic, bittersweet grand finale.
First, Cassini will dive between Saturn and it’s rings. It’s already done that once, on April 26. And it’s geared up to do it 21 more times.
Then, on September 15, Cassini will… um…
