Cassini scientist on the Ultraviolet Imaging Spectrograph (bio)
Just in time for Halloween, Cassini does not disappoint and successfully begins to transmit a bag of “science” goodies home. And just like when I was a kid looking through my bag of candy after a long night of trick or treating . . . tonight will be the same as scientists around the country begin to pour over their treats, or in this case data captured on this, our last flyby this year of Saturn’s icy moon, Enceladus. The excitement and joy is relived all over again each time we fly by. What treats and treasures await? I can’t wait to find out!

Hi deear Amanda,
I READ THIS MORNING ( 1 NOV. 11 HOURS HERE IN hOLLAND) YOUR 30 OCT. ACOOUNT. HAD TO GO SHOPPING WITH MY WIFE, AS SHE TOLD ME, COMING BACK FIND THE SITE CHANGED IN THE DAY AND THE TIME (GUT).
Marvellous work in this marvellous world. To understand all your data I had to go to my own site about the Cassini-Huygens project I made 4 years ago. And so your enthusiastic words from yesterday brought me back to the Cassini on its way to Enceladus. Was long time away, because of so many other wonders we have to watch to work and think about. We had the Invention of Telescope Celebrations 400 years ago here in Holland and so on.
Thanks and go on having succes and pleasure in work.
Also enjoyed the account of the driver of the spacething in the next site, tell him.
greetings,
