To those who know something about Cassini or were watching the NASA TV feed last night: Can you explain the horizontal lines in images like this one: ...
... Not a bad WAG, but I thought the camera is a frame-readout camera. News reports call it "interference," without specifying what kind of interference. From...
... This is a wag too, perhaps there is a monkey on board which turns a crank to move film across the lens opening. After 7 years, I believe this monkey may...
Well, whenever a monkey holds his breath for 7 years in a vacuum, a little shaking is to be expected '-) ... From: Mike C To: AlaskanAstronomy@yahoogroups.com ...
Wouldn't that be a standard SSSSS implementation? Senior Simian Slow Scan System? ... From: Mike C <mike@...> Date: Thursday, July 1, 2004 10:54 am ...
Some of the full raw's look cool, I hope there is more resolution than this soon. http://saturn.jpl.nasa.gov/multimedia/images/raw/casJPGFullS02/N00006502.jpg ...
... From SAA: The commentary on NASA-TV reported that the banding is interference from a 2 Hz signal near the camera. They filter it out in processing later....
... Obviously, I'm planning to be there too, but I have a quick question. The Denny's is said to be at DeBarr and S. Bragaw. If I turn left onto Bragaw from...
The white dots represent cosmic-ray hits; the horizontal bands are electrical noise. Both will be removed with image processing. Courtesy NASA/JPL/Space...

VIMS is a color camera mounted on the Cassini spacecraft bound for Saturn. When the human eye looks at an object, the cones in the retina are able to discern...
Geeeze Louise look at this pic of the Encke Gap.. http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/jpeg/PIA06099.jpg Do you think the strange patterns at left are aliasing...
... NASA wrongly calls it the Encke Gap at http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/targetFamily/Saturn but in fact it is called the Encke Division. I've already send ...
... Good points. Now that I look again at the relation of the humps protruding into the division, and the bright lines which spiral off each of them, even if...
Excellent BS tonight, folks. Enjoyed every minute of it. Chris, do you want to give the low-down on the next one when you've got a moment? -- Jeff Medkeff ...
... Holy cow. Well, since this is the unlit side of the rings, most of the lighting is probably caused by backscatter. That implies a very small particle size...

Just ordered a Dell laptop over the phone (had a technical question initially, normally I would order online). Wow what a global affair! First I spoke with...
