| Halloween 2008 - So Is THAT where Elvis Went? - Cassini imaging scientists have used a little-known camera filter carried by Cassini's cameras to penetrate the Titan haze and capture a rare look at mysterious carvings hidden on the moon's surface. The resemblance to a long-dead popular terrestrial musical artist has not gone unnoticed, and has resurrected old suspicions of his continued, present-day existence. |

Well, not only do the great images keep coming in on time as scheduled, but it just gets to show that the genius of scientific minds can always create a treat or two for everyone of all ages.
The young children, and old alike, are just going to love these images, thanks again to Caroline and the CICLOPS Team.
This is great stuff to get our young and future generations interested in Space Exploration.
SLEEPY HOLLOW.... Eat Your Heart Out!
Thanks Irving Washington and Bram Stoker, for the almost two centuries of keeping everyone looking up.... but here we are.... HALLOWEEN has just gone COSMIC.
So, don't forget to look up at the Solar Systems' Major and Minor Moons in the dark night sky from time to time, especially on Halloween nights....
You just never know what kind of surprises may await.
Happy HALLOWEEN everyone,
