On one hand we reach Saturn and send amazing photos to earth and on the other we fly a helicopter over a remote unveiled tribe at the Amazon.
Two extremes in one month in 2 0 0 8. Isn't it amazing?

The pictures are good but not good enough for me. I would rather have Saturn in the whole picture.

NASA and therefore the scientists and engineers in the USA have accomplished this ! Amazing! And the general public never gets to see these pictures. A shame.

Our Solar System is awesome.

Beautiful and amazing.

I love when smart people do neat things.

amazing!!! Thank you for sharing these great photos.

-romulo

MY GOD! IT'S FULL OF STARS!

Beautiful and so amazing interesting sience.

It's fantastic!!! When one thinks that's o n l y Saturn and its moons...

Beautiful

I can't believe we have such technology today in only 2008. I can't even imagine what we'll have in 2010, 2013, 2020......

We are amazed with advancement in technology and yet it's ok to lose all sight of what is true. Humanity is lost.

Absolutely fantastic - how amazing what our NASA has been able to do....and what they will do in the future!

The beauty of the photos are evidence of the dual nature of the spiritual world as it is entangled with the logic of our own humble existence. May the divine inspire rational thought as we entire the age of Aquarius.

Notice that the rings are symmetrical with one another? It is not an accident that this happens!

To ELM143:

Do you really feel like giving lessons to others?
If your gravity controles all Universe according to your physics laws,
Who created that gravity, and Who the physics laws, if I may?

THAT IS SO COOL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

God exists.

stupendous! wich words can explain my feeling? and ....

thanks God

isn't god awsome!!!!!!!!

Fanastic! Somehow insping!

Completely awe inspiring to be able to see that far out. The wonders of the universe are endless. I can't wait to see what's next. Kinda makes you realize just how small Earth really is the grand scheme of things. Truly amazing........

fantastic!!!
I am 75 years old and never in my life I dreamed to see something like that
congratulations for everyone that worked to make a thing like that a reality

Excelente! Maravilhosas fotos!

After looking at these wonderful photos, I can't help but be awed by them and the fact that God put them there just for us to see & find & explore & learn from.
Great work NASA. Please send more photos. We know they are out there.."it would be an awful waste of space" if they weren't.

that is amazing stuff -

Thank you for sharing these beautiful pictures, and yes! "He has the whole world in His hands" Praise God for giving man the brains to figure all these things out.

It is really amazing Pictures..Keep the good works NASA, Thank you for sharing this to us. It really help us to elaborate our minds. ...

Keep it up. God bless and guides you in you're work.

Truly wonderful pictures that are a credit to all members of the NASA team.
Please do not forget who played a very important part in all this,without whose help we would never have reached such heights of interlect.
May God grant you even greater minds to continue his work.

Keep up the good work.

All I can is.....WOW!!

Us humans need to take a close look at these arid, perfect and stunning photos of what Earth doesn't look like but probably should with the frame of mind, the realization that we and every other living thing are completely random in terms of planets and space. Drive by shootings, saving animals before we save all humans, the air we breathe; our lives and experiences on this amazing planet mostly go to waste because of greed, stupidity and self absorption. It is worth the risk and the MONEY to see how the whole universe was made and what it looks like, only if the photos help change our prospective on why we are here.

Just Simply "Amazzzzing"

Awesome pictures!!!

Mind Blowing Pictures - Finite details -
Feels like you are right there -
Only question:
"Where's all the People??"

ALL THESE WORLDS ARE YOURS EXCEPT EUROPA. ATTEMPT NO LANDINGS THERE.

All I can is.....WOW!!

Thank you NASA! Best wishes to Cassini Spacecrafts next extended mission.

OMG like SO totally cool like omg

OMG!!!! Amazing shots!!!

Those are amazing shots of the Queen of space and her moons. Thanks for sharing

I felt such awe and reverence viewing these photos from outer space. Such a lovely, pristine world up there. On Saturn one can make wishes on new moons all the time. Thanks NASA for sharing. Black and white film made the shots more dramatic.

Oh man I thought it was leading up to a joke. Gutted. Wish I were born further into the future when I could actually visit Saturn. Yeah and the God stuff? Has nothing to do with these pictures.

wow.....!!!!

you just put pictures to half the sci-fi book I have read as a child..

You are our eyes in darsk work.good louck NASA

There are more answers out there than questions but It is the question that brings the answer into view.
Brux

Hi, Timmay, 24,
there is no such a thing like creative nature.
"There is but One that heads the Universe."(The Only Planet of Choice)
Nature is an invention of man, in his refusal to recognize God in all there is.
God is the Greatest Spirit, the Creator of Life. He doesn't need any body or robe.
He is the only Creator. He is all Life and all Love. He is infinite and eternal.
When Lucifer betrayed Him, He was initiating a Plan of Salvation, to get His lost son back home. That was the BigBang: The Creation of Matter, physical Universe.
For everything was eternal till then. So the concept of TIME came with the MATTER.
Earth is the most beautiful planet in the Universe. Man on Earth has the most important task to accomplish in Salvation, for in the middle of Earth only, is the spirit of Lucifer tied up very strongly. And Saturn is a brother-planet of a great help.

Whom can outdo our creator and savior, Jesus Christ.

Comment #196: I think NASA just did.

hi
was perfect
if u like see other perfect pic ,see it
http://www.gigapan.org/viewGigapan.php?id=3332&window_height=393&window_width=841

WOW GOD IS WONDERFUL

Just breath taking. Amazing...really words can't describe how utterly beautiful.

The picutres are amazing and a reminder that we are living on a wonderful planet and each and everyone of us should appreciate the beauty of our own planet and not abuse it with rubbish, pollution and the waste of natural resources such as precious water.

just amazing wow!
well done to the nasa team!!!

Ay, ay, dear Gaye, 197, you make me suffer.
There is so much shortsighting in deifying NASA, but yours... seems the shortest.
Do you really miss feeling that TREMENDOUS DIMENSION of the COSMIC CREATION, compared with just the taking of photographs ?

Are you looking at Saturn and think NASA ?
I am looking at Saturn and think God.

Hi, Bob Kinders, 163,
The beauty of the photos is perfect evidence of the ONE God.
Of course we noticed, rings are symmetrical - there is no accident in God.
But what would you say, knowing that the two rings are the rests of two other spheres once surounded Saturn?
Or that even NOW our Earth is formed of three spheres, perfectly fitted in one another?
Or that the Sun of our Solar System consists of seven spheres placed in one another?
Such is God's wonder, with or without NASA.

Believe this on not. Back in April 1996 a article appeared in the O.C.Register
regarding the signing of a coupon that would be sent to Suzanne Barber, that is
with the, Jet Propulsion Lab in Pasadena, Calif. This coupon along with other coupons would be placed on the CASSINI Missiom so I SIGNED UP FOR ETERNITY. along with approximately 3,000 space lovers and now we can see
our efforts in outer space going around the Planet SATURN. I hope that the other
2,999 or so feel life still has some purpose. God Bless this program and to All.

hi
very beutiful

These photos were especially meaningful to me since I just had the privilege of viewing Saturn from the top of Mauna Kea on the big island of Hawaii. Mauna Kea is touted to be the best vantage point in the world for star gazing and it was an awesome experience. These photos have added another dimension to my life-long learning endeavor. Mahalo nui loa!!!

Absolutely beautiful-It's wonderful to love the One who created it all too. We will see much, much more in eternity.

These pictures are super human inspired by God, hugs hunny b

Awesome! And who is it that can't believe the God we serve? Psalms 8:3-6; 9 says it best, "When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have ordained; what is man that you take though of him? Yet you have made him a little lower than God, and You crown him with glory and majesty! You make him to rule over the works of Your hands."

O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is Your name in all the earth!

Pretty fantastic -- its funny to think just how well they can preserve these images from steadily rolling "wireless" signal-video feed back to Earth... some scientist/photographic enthusiast probably has the best time ever just sitting there with the joystick snapping away (or clipping certain frames for later revision). I would be in total bliss seeing such spectacles day to day at "work." What a thing. I love the polar region shot: it displays (in the phi ratio) the spinning hexagonal formation there, which has been in existence at LEAST as long as we've captured resolute images (10s of years now) - without an explanation as to how it keeps its shape, other than theories about electromagnetic or acoustic resonance reverberating throughout the planet's composition. Incredible. Sort of like the Schumann Resonance or Alfven Waves here on Earth, maybe (which directly relate to the electrical ionosphere & gaseous atmosphere, and thereby to the color of our very sky)? Who knows. www kairologic dot com?

Wow! We are not the center of the universe...only the center of OUR very limited universe. Very enlightening and uplifting. How much more we have to look forward to! Only time will tell.

For those who hold the notion space dollars are better spent on earth I ask a brief moment to consider:
Had this attitude not largely prevailed these past decades, today we might be mining the asteroids instead of strip mining the earth; we could be enjoying limitless clean power from space instead of paying $4 per gallon; our polluting factories are in orbit, not on earth; and, incidentally, no worries about global climate change from our activities! But -- far more importantly, I ask you to further consider:
How fragile our interdependent lives are on this earth! We are threatened by mega disasters such as super volcanoes. Did you know mankind was reduced to 5000 breeding females 75,000 years ago from Toba's eruption. Yellowstone is overdue. A mere 18,000 years ago a massive air burst from space over the retreating ice shelf wiped out most of life from from North America. Good bye Mammoths and Saber Tooths! Massive impacts from space combined with resultant mass flood basalts (huge eruptions) on the side opposite from the impact eliminated the dinosaurs 65 million years ago and almost did for all life on earth 250 million years ago. All life on earth is fragile, not just ours. Three times in the deep past snowball earth has been covered with miles thick ice from pole to pole, and it now seems that there are mass extinctions regularly every 26 million years.
WE NEED SURVIVAL INSURANCE!
We need self sustaining colonies in space away from ground zero earth to ensure mankind's very long term survival. Isn't that a more altruistic use of our resources than allocating the current minuscule percentage of the GDP spent on space to earth based attempts to better the plight of the world's humanity?

amazing

moved to tears by the beauty

My mom and I were both stunned as we viewed each picture.

God's creations are simply MARVELOUS!

Hard to believe, what great Photography keep up the great work NASA, and all involved!

Yes, Dan Mowrey, 196,
you put it the best way:

"How can anyone
look at these photos
and deny
the presence of God?"

That "Big Guy" in the sky is but a formulation by mankind to explain the unknown and to control the population. More people have been maimed and killed in the name of religion than anything else on earth. ie, the Crusades, Spanish Inquisition, and now the Middle East.
Science and freedom from religion are the answer, but we're not making much progress in that direction when we see so many people believing in fairy tales such as Adam and Eve, Noah's Ark, and the like. These poor, ignorant followers of the "Creation" actually believe that mankind has been in existence for only 6,000 years. They will never remove their blinders and seek the truth as organized religion taps into their most vulnerable defect: Their greed for prosperity and money. ie, If you tithe your church you will receive prosperity many times over. Save your dough and just play the lottery. Your chances for fulfillment are far better and you might even send a disadvantaged kid to school or buy some textbooks.

Hi, Roger Randall, 219,
you are absolutely right when speaking so resolute about the Church.
But who speaks here of Church?
We speak of God. There are two DIFFERENT things.
Dare to look beyond the little Church, beyond the great Saturn, out through
the Milky Way into the infinite cosmos. That is God.
Isn't He magnificent? He is.
And how about the air you breath, and the water you drink? That is He too.
And how about science? All suns and all planets in the perfect Universe, all
gravity, attraction, rotation, magnetic fields, all rays, electricity or waves
keeping LIFE going -- it is all His.
Science is of God, and we are just beginners.

Forget the the Stories/All the Hype!

Someone or Something did it

Our world is Beautiful

Just enjoy Life

Beautiful

I can speak english, but I don't really wanna do it. Lo diré en español que es como mejor se me da...hay que joderse!!Madre mía que fotos maaas bonitas! Saturno es excepcional y sus anillos un misterio, asi como el hexagono de su polo norte.

frikin' sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thank you and very mach.

It's so amazing to realize that this is reality, not science fiction. This would have blown the minds of viewers a hundred years ago. What will we be seeing a hundred years from now?

Hi, feckneejit, 69,

I am ready to believe you
if you tell me
where was the SCIENCE
when God created you?

Dear R. Buchanan, 114,
it is OBVIOUS, even for the blind
that our HOLY NASA
sent a heavy Plutonium-Bomb to that magnificent Saturn
in order to destroy it !

Let's further worship NASA !
Let us thank it in gratitude
for so peacefully falling asleep
crunched, chocked & burned in the "Lucifer Project" !

omg, thats so great !!! hmm...did they found aliens there??! xDD

Hi, tomasltu, 229,
no, they did not find any aliens there, because each planet function on a highly different frequency -- which our cameras cannot catch. Just as with the whistle of a dog or the song of the whales. May I tell you we are too primitive?
Make sure you have the courage to reject the word aliens, they are our brothers. We all have the same father. Or do you believe we were apes?
Make sure you use your oun common sens in seeing that
NO CREATOR OF LIFE EVER
WOULD CREATE this BEAUTIFUL, MAJESTIC and TRULY INFINITE UNIVERSE,
FOR DEATH -- while only our little EARTH would have LIFE !
Could you ever imagine such a stupid CREATOR ?
Our scientists do.

this is so cool and i should this to my science teacher and she said she loved it and she would like to see more so please send more when you get more thank you!

This is wonderfull act of good!!!!!!!

The dollars spent on the space program, for example, Cassini,, are multiplied many times over in benefits to the earth's population, The early work in the 1960's led to advances in materials that benefited aerospace and automotive. Even more dramatic was the effect on accelerating advances in electronics - smaller, more powerful, more robust. The demand for better electronics for controls and communications in space has led to much improved electronics for the consumer. Cell phones were unknown in the 1960's - then we had BIG cell phones, then "Bag" phones, flip phones, and iPhones. Quite a rapid progression. Our GPS units depend on satellites, as do most of our TV and telephone transmissions. You wouldn't be watching HDTV either because it would be too expensive for the mass markket using older technology. You wouldn't have the fuel efficient autos (compared to the 1960's - 13 mpg on premium!) without space age electronics (although the Corvette had vacuum tube controlled fuel injection one year).

I also am awed by the pictures and have great admiration for the people who designed and built the equipment that took them and transmitted the data after so long in space with temperature extremes and radiation.

And here's to our Higher Power who made all this possible in our universe by setting the fundamental constants to the exact values that would support life as we know and experience it!

One wonders. ( WHAT WOULD IT BE LIKE TO BE THERE )

That's just about what I expected Saturn and it's moons would look like.
And really, the feet of getting a camera out there is the truly amazing thing. More power to NASA I say. The money spent doing these things is as a drop in the ocean, compared to military spending anyway.

I'm all for the star ark (stark (-: ) rave too. We just need faster than light drives and we're set. The real question is: Where is everybody (out there)? With only slightly better space ships than we have now, it would only take about a million years to populate the galaxy. I think we need to get going on this one.

I definitly trust NASA not to pollute to atmosphere with radioactive smeg. They *are* the rocket scientists. And what's this smeg about turning the vacuum cleaner of the solar system (Saturn) into a sun. Give me a break!

As for this dude called god. Well I have to admit that I don't really know. There may or may not be one. Lets face it, anybody that says different is deluding themselves. You just want to live forever, and it's not likely. If you lead a good life now, and there turns out to be a god, then at least you can look him/her in the eye and say that you did it because you thought it was the right thing to do, not because you were scared of some divine retribution.

So if you were to play golf on Mimas, could you hit a ball into orbit? (-:

Thanks NASA. Very well done.
-Adrian Down Under.

Enough with the god-stuff. Let's give credit where credit is due. Well done, NASA!

Sure, sure, Maureen, 236,
I genuinely tryed to see NASA as great as you recommend us!
So I took that marvellous Saturn out of the Universe...
and your NASA just puffed off the map.

See, Maureen,
no God, no NASA.

its so beautiful and awesome.Thank you God and may God Bless..

There are no gods. Grow up, please.

BELLISSIMO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To Awake and Aware, 239,

Of course there are no gods!

GOD IS.

Do you need proof? Close your eyes and open your heart. He is there.
You'll awake and get aware the very moment you turn into a child.

Hi, dear white, 14,
I can asure you,
God created such beautiful Universe,
and not the Communist Party.

Wow, these pictures are simply amazing!
Thinking about how much work and passion it took to get there gives an even greater emotional impact.

Thanks!

Hi, Beyerstein, 213,
moved to tears by so much passion...but who is the man, you so passionatelly plead for?
Man was given this most beautiful planet to take care of it and make it flourish.
I see but greed, hunger, destruction and CRUEL extinction of plant, animal, man.
Is this the man, you so passionatelly plead for?
Even the three protective layers are destroyed, and our orbit is FULL of our idiot garbage. Who gave us the right to pollute all there is?
AND WHO GIVES US THE RIGHT TO POSSESS OTHER PLANETS ???
Would man not destroy every planet, one after the other, would he be alloud to put foot on them? He would.
Forget about 'Insurance' and 'Humanity'.These are just empty words. You obviously love yourself dramatizing them, but they are meaningless.
And they are meaningless because... MAN IS NOT BODY.
This is the biggest mistake we all do.
FOR MAN IS SPIRIT.
Did you speak of insurance? You CAN do it -- in spirit!
Did you speak of humanity? It will EVER survive, but in spirit!
Forget about possessing the Universe with your flesh.
THE MOMENT YOU REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE, ALL UNIVERSE IS YOURS.

absolutely mind blowing,would like to think that given a second chance mankind would do it all differently ,but being an optimist with a pessimistic outlook on the fate of mankind i fear not.we have done enough damage to the earth,lets leave well enough alone.

*** Nice to see and very hard to belive.... ****

No matter wat, That the fact & Need to belive JESUS work in his beautiful creations

My, what fantastic images.
Mankind's marvels just leave me speechless.
May our children dream bigger and explore farther than we have ever imagined.

It saddens me that some people cannot look at something that has nothing to do with humanity without feeling the need to vandalise it with their egocentric assumptions. Why can't you just look at it without having to draw a face on it?

Awesome pictures by clever monkeys.

seriously what's with all the religious nutcases commenting on these pictures?

The truth is if all of humanity was to abide to you childish beliefs of the "big man" in the sky, we would never have been able to have these images in the first place.
