Cassini has to be the best mission since Voyager for cool stuff.

When New Horizons arrives at Pluto in three years it's going to be amazing!

Yea, but that's going to be a quick flyby, then the deep space portion of New Horizons takes over. Cassini and Huygens get to loiter in the area for a while, doing the 'tourist' thing.

Sometimes quick and messy is as enjoyable as the long and slow. Just ask Raydon.

I'd ask his
sheep girlfriend, but I don't think she knows about 'long and slow'.

Who's Raydon?
But I'll agree, Gun... when there's no time for long and slow, quick and messy is the way to go.

Io.

An excellent image of the ESA's ATV 3 approaching the ISS for docking.

That pic of Io is both spooky and cool at the same time.
2010 flashbacks!

Fox Fur Nebula, XMas Tree star cluster, and Cone Nebula.

When I first saw it I stole it for my desktop.

Anyone ever wondered if the Alien Peeps make outposts and transforming interstellar this and that important stuff just look like moons to fool the behind the times people who might be trying to peek? I have.
Cool.
Iapetus flyby.

Both, very cool!
