| Description: |
The Martian Chronicles is written by three graduate students at Cornell University who are actively involved in exploring Mars. Like its namesake book by Ray Bradbury, the Martian Chronicles offers a glimpse into the exploration of the Red Planet and what it is like to be a “Martian”. Our posts focus on Mars, but also stray into other science and space news, reflections on graduate school and academia, and anything else that catches our interest. We hope that they will catch yours, too. |

Flying over Enceladus
Check out this awesome animation from the November 21 flyby of Enceladus (via the Planetary Society Blog). Remember, these are actual pictures, taken by an actual spacecraft! I’m constantly amazed at how close the Cassini team can get to Enceladus. This is the sort of cool fly-through I’d expect to see in the opening sequence [...]
New Enceladus pictures!
The Cassini spacecraft just did a very close flyby of Enceladus, the icy moon of Saturn that has become famous for the plumes of water vapor billowing from its south pole, and the pictures coming back are so spectacular that they are taking seasoned planet-watchers by surprise. Here’s a teaser: a panorama assembled from the [...]
