Watery Moon

It looks like the Cassini probe may have found evidence of liquid water on Enceladus, one of Saturn's moons. NASA plans a press conference at 2 PM EST.

Meanwhile back on our own moon, Google has added some NASA imagery to the Google Maps interface to help you surf the lunar surface.

Go here to surf our moon.

Make sure you ZOOM all the way in for a surprise...

Great Google application! You're right, the technology is fantastic.

And speaking of "Watery Moon", I just ate at my favorite asian restaurant yesterday, "Water Moon".

What surprise? Amazing technology. It's like they were actually there mapping it.

Liquid. Hmmm. Startling find. Now if only there was enough nitrogen up there to build any kind of life form...

cube said...

Life...but not as we know it. Sure has a nice ring to it.

We're gonna find out soon that we are not the only life in our solar system. And maybe some of the others have developed an antidote to dancing cats.

David - We already have the solution on Earth. Simple: shoot the cat; or should that be the owner of the cat?. Hmm. Which is more culpible?

cube said...

caz & david: you two are just jealous that a cat can out dance you both.

David Amulet said...

I was abused by cats as a child. Dancing cats, as a matter of fact. Damn you, Cube--DAMN YOU!

I love a big glass of icy water with my Enceladus. Especially if they put in some of that spicy green chili.
