A crescent Enceladus appears with Saturn’s rings in this Cassini view of the moon.
The famed jets of water ice emanating from the south polar region of the moon are faintly visible here. They appear as a small white blur below the dark south pole, down and to the right of the illuminated part of the moon’s surface in the image.
The image was taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on Jan. 4, 2012 from a distance of approximately 291,000 kilometers from Enceladus.
A new global treaty could allow corporations to police what we do on the Internet. Last week we successfully pushed back the US censorship bills — if we act now, we can get the EU Parliament to bury this new threat — add your voice now!
The Prime Minister’s back down on poker machine reform and on her agreement with Andrew Wilkie is shameful. The Prime Minister has failed the thousands of problem gamblers in Australia and their families, and she has tacitly thrown her support behind the clubs who make most of their money at the expense of those Australians who can least afford it. The Prime Minister’s version of reform is no reform at all for there is no guarantee that it will extend beyond the ACT trial.
It seems that the Prime Minister only cares about her own self-interests, pandering to those who can further her own political ambitions rather than working for the best interests of the country.
“The more I have read the Bible and studied the life of Jesus, the more I have become convinced that Christianity spreads best not through force but through fascination. But over the past few decades our Christianity … has become less and less fascinating. We have given the atheists less and less to disbelieve. And the sort of Christianity many of us have seen on TV and heard on the radio looks less and less like Jesus.”
Two churches located across the street from each other. At least the Catholics have a sense of humor. lol
“At Christmas, we recall that God is one who tells us he’s there, shows us what he’s like, and accompanies us as we journey - even through the darkest and loneliest valleys of life.”
