...NASA's Cassini spacecraft (click here) has revealed some new images of Saturn's largest moon, Titan, unveiling the presence of liquid methane and ethane lakes on it near its north pole . The spacecraft also captured some latest images of Saturn and its rings from the top.
The team of scientists from NASA researchers from the University of Idaho were the one to spot the new images.
The images were released by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in La Cañada Flintridge earlier this week. The pictures were captured with the help of the spacecraft's infrared mapping spectrometer and were false-colored mosaics....


Absolutely incredible images from NASA when one stops to realize how big and hostile the solar system is and how precise the flight of our USA spacecrafts. 

Amazing.

Congratulations, NASA, well done. The nation can be proud.

This is Saturn by the way. Close up from above. So cool. Nearly 800 million miles from Earth. We did this. Our scientists did this. Wow. 

Have a good Halloween.
