    Yes, I am really excited about this! The pictures that have been taken thus far seem very surreal, almost as if they were paintings!

    I wonder when they will begin to probe Uranus???

    Thanks for the site!

    It is now in orbit of Saturn, and taking pictures of the rings!!! Pictures should be ready about 8:00 am!

    Can't wait to see them. Mars is very interesting, but to get a glimpse of one of the Gas giants is truly amazing!

    One of my favorite jokes (silly) from Saturday Night Live was years ago when Jane Curtin was giving the Weekend Update news. She showed a photo of Saturn and said scientists figured out how the rings got around the planet. It seems God was playing basketball and well, it got stuck in the hoop!
