Aero-News Quote of the Day

"We won't see the whole puzzle, only pieces, but what we are seeing is dramatic. The images are mind-boggling, just mind-boggling. I've been working on this mission for 14 years and I shouldn't be surprised, but it is remarkable how startling it is to see these images for the first time."

Source: Dr. Carolyn Porco, Cassini imaging team leader, Space Science Institute, Boulder (CO), upon seeing some of the first startling images from inside the rings of Saturn. Cassini threaded its way between those rings Thursday and established a safe orbit around the gas giant, where it will remain for the next four years, studying both Saturn and its moons.
