Cassiopeia A in a Million Credit U. Hwang (GSFC/UMD), J.M. Lamming (NRL), et al., CXC, NASA! One million seconds of x-ray images were used for this view of supernova remnant Cassiopeia A, the expanding debris cloud from a stellar explosion. This startling image from the Chandra Observatory allows for an extensive, detailed exploration of the catastrophic fate that awaits stars much more massive than our Sun. Seen in false-color, Cassiopeia A's outer green ring, about 10 light-years in diameter, marks the location of the expanding shock from the original supernova explosion. While Cassiopeia A is about 10,000 light-years away, light from the supernova wasn't visible from Earth until 300 years ago.
Soar Toward Phoebe Yourself! Hold On!The Cassini Spacecraft Snapped These Photo's (put into animation), Of One Of Saturn's Moons, Phoebe, June 10, 2004 As It Nears Saturn To Orbit And Study The Planet And it's Rings! Courtesy NASA, JPL, Space Scientific Institute!
Here's The Beauty Of A Planet, Saturn! Image Taken By The Cassini Spacecraft Which Is Planned To Drop Into Orbit June 30th 2004! After A 10 Year Voyage Dedicated To Orbit And Study The Ringed Planet It Is Also Planned To Release The Huygen Lander, Named For Dutch Astronomer Christiaan Huygen Who Discovered Titan In The 1600's, To Land On Titan, A Moon Of Saturn! Titan Is The Only Other Body In Our Solar System With A Real Atmosphere, Tho Very Deadly! With Nitrogen, Water, Rain (Acidity? Don't Even Ask!) And Ice!
Due To Land January 14th, 2005 It Raises Great Excitement What We May Find On This Cloudy, Smog Layered Moon Of Saturn! Courtesy NASA, Europena Space Agency, Italian Space Agency, CICLOPS!

Saturn's Rings, Cold and Colder 09.02.04 The varying temperatures of Saturn's rings are depicted here in this false-color image from the Cassini spacecraft.
This image represents the most detailed look to date at the temperature of Saturn's rings. The image was made from data taken by Cassini's composite infrared spectrometer instrument.
Red represents temperatures of about 110 Kelvin (-261 degrees Fahrenheit), and blue 70 Kelvin (-333 degrees Fahrenheit). Green is equivalent to 90 Kelvin (-298 degrees Fahrenheit). Water freezes at 273 Kelvin (32 degrees Fahrenheit). The spatial resolution of the ring portion of the image is 200 kilometers (124 miles).
The data show that the opaque region of the rings, like the outer A ring (on the far right) and the middle B ring, are cooler, while more transparent sections, like the Cassini Division (in red just inside the A ring) or the inner C ring (shown in yellow and red), are relatively warmer.
