... 2007 March 27 . Enceladus Creates Saturn's E Ring . ... Explanation: The active moon Enceladus appears to be making Saturn's E ring. An amazing picture showing the moon at work was taken late last year by the Saturn-orbiting Cassini spacecraft and is shown above . Enceladus is the dark spot inside the bright flare, right near the center of Saturn's E ring . ... The above bright image of the normally faint E-ring was made possible by aligning Cassini so that Saturn blocked the Sun. ...

The pipeline by default interpolates across the bad columns in the REDL CCD when it creates the master bias, but does not so when it processes the science data. This inconsistency can create boxy emission-like features as seen in the figure below. ...

home publications > mercury . ... Rings of Creation . ... In 1755, Immanuel Kant had the remarkable insight that stars and planetary systems form by the gravitational collapse and rotational flattening of interstellar clouds. Later in the 18th century, Marquis Pierre Simon de Laplace refined Kant s idea by suggesting that planets condensed from rings produced at the edge of a contracting disk while the Sun formed at the center a picture thereafter known as the Nebular Hypothesis. ...
