Cassini's Continued Mission

[ALien]

NASA's Cassini spacecraft is now a nearly a year into its extended mission, called Cassini Equinox (after its initial 4-year mission ended in June, 2008). The spacecraft continues to operate in good health, returning amazing images of Saturn, its ring system and moons, and providing new information and science on a regular basis. The mission's name, "Equinox" comes from the upcoming Saturnian equinox in August, 2009, when its equator (and rings) will point directly toward the Sun. The Equinox mission runs through September of 2010, with the possibility of further extensions beyond that. Collected here are 24 more intriguing images from our ringed neighbor.

Omg. Those pictures were pathetic. Only 2 of them looked even remotely real. As for Space pictures nasa will have to personally show me how they are done. They would most likely introduce me to they guy who carves little spheres to look like moons and then to the set where they suspend them before a background. I don't believe any of it. IMO

I thought the pictures were awesome, why would they "fake" them?
