Higher resolution versions of the movies curiousuburb mentions in his posting can be found on the ESA site. Unfortunately they are in WMV...

Moon movies from Cassini!
In addition to the usual impressive image updates, the Cassini-Huygens project gnomes have released a bunch of new movie clips. Some are .GIF, some are .MOV, and some are .MPEG format files, each compiled from camera images of various moons interacting with each other, or the Rings, or Saturn itself. In some cases, you can see some of the rotation, in others the spacecraft motion or orbital mechanics seem to make this more difficult. Click images for alternate movie formats or source pages.

It's actually a podcast about everything JPL. So it has episodes on many different (interplanetary) mission. Interesting stuff.

Strong evidence for lakes on Titan
From NASA Quote:
This is something quite revolutionary. They would be the first bodies of liquid found on the surface of a planet other than dear mother Earth. |

Not to throw a damper on the Alien Olympics, but what are the chances this is a phenomenon associated with Cassini's imaging system?

Naw. It's a REALLY HUGE example of a steadystate polygonal vortex.
