Off-topic: Cassini finally sees spokes in Saturn's B-ring


Not exactly satellite-related, but as has been alluded to on a few discussion sites in the past week, the Cassini Imaging team announced today that they had finally observed the spokes, first seen by Voyager but had not been seen by Cassini. The spokes appear to be bright wispy features on the B-ring in the above image and in the images released today. These images are of the unlit side of the ring, so the B-ring appears dark due to its opacity and the C-ring, at lower left, appears bright. Saturn's limb can be seen toward the upper left corner. Pretty neat stuff.
