Enceladus

Friday, October 17th, 2008

The Cassini spacecraft managed it and flew to within 25km above the surface of Enceladus, its closest encounter with a satellite of Saturn. It appear to have flown through clouds of water vapour. Oh yeah, so Enceladus is different from all the rest.

Many years ago, Arthur C. Clarke hypothesised that Europa might sustain life and that formed the basis of his 2001 series of books. Today, people think he might just be right.

Well, when first I saw Enceladus, I thought it might be different and sorta special. I do hope that I am right. This will mean a lot to me.
