Mimas Against the Rings
During its close flyby of Saturn's moon Mimas on Aug. 2, 2005, Cassini caught a glimpse of Mimas against the broad expanse of Saturn's rings. The Keeler Gap in the outer A ring, in which Cassini spied a never-before-seen small moon (see PIA06237), is at the upper right. The ancient, almost asteroid-like sur...

@AkaSci It lets me feel quite old but I hope that my body will work also enough time. 🤭 I remember well the start and Carl Sagan's idea how to communicate with alien civilisations: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voyager_Golden_Record
Voyager1 and @voyager2 were a milestone!

KSC-06pd0080
KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- Great white egrets and a great blue heron in the foreground seem to stand watch as NASA's New Horizons spacecraft leaps off the pad on time at 2 p.m. EST aboard an Atlas V rocket from Complex 41 on Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. This was the third launch attempt in as many days after scrubs due to weather concerns. The compact...
