Comments on: Cassini: 10 years and counting http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2007/10/15/cassini-10-years-and-counting/ I am an astronomer, writer, and skeptic. I likes reality the way it is, and I aims to keep it that way. My real name is Phil Plait, and I run the Bad Astronomy blog.

I really still love this stuff! It's like you can be a kid all over again, just gazing at how amazingly beautiful all this stuff is. And, of course, you can't help but ask the big questions and yet find some sort of solace in the mystery of it all. Saturn looks so beautiful – I wish I could see it up close and personal. It must be really awesome. Man, I need to save up and buy a telescope some day! Man, it’s crazy that nomatter how old you get this stuff still excites you and puts a major sense of awe in your bones.

The first one has now become my computer's wallpaper, replacing a drawing of a Mars rover. The animation of Prometheus and the F ring is truly amazing. I've submitted the NASA site to Science Videos, in hopes that it gets added to the Space list. Those images are SO cool!

I have several for desktop backgrounds on the pc's that I use. Fantastic! Edward C. - I do think it's an optical illusion, and someone may come along that can explain it better, but I think it has to do with perspective and the shape of Saturn.
