Incredible! Saturns moons from Cassini

APOD (yesterday) featured a marvellous animated gif of 3 of Saturns moons in motion.

Took ages to load so may not be dialup friendly.

Well worth the watch though, if you're happy to wait.

That is pretty neat!

I often wonder what it would be like to live on a planet and see multiple
moons, thanks for sharing

regards,CS

Thanks, Mike. Almost instantaneous on my 256Kbs connection so I don't think dial-up would be a problem.

Interesting to note the variation in albedo of the three moons.
