Since Cassini arrived in the Saturn system nearly four years ago, our cameras have recorded the most spectacular, most moving, most heart-stoppingly lovely scenes of any to be found in our solar system. We all have our favorite Cassini images. Now, here is your chance to vote for yours.
Here's mine:
YES! Send me a free issue of Seed.
If I like what I see, I'll receive 5 more issues (6 in all) for just $14.95. That's 50% off the cover price! If I'm not completely satisfied, I'll simply write "cancel" on the invoice and owe nothing. The free issue is mine to keep.

That is just a fantastic picture. These pictures were all hard to vote on, weren't they? I went for the Dragon Storm picture. The scaling on my site doesn't do it justice; the full size picture just blows me away. I am just curious about the effective baud rate from Cassini, and wonder how long it takes a photo to upload to CICLOPS from the Saturn orbit.

I like the picture you chose as well. I like each of them for the same reason: They appear to be utterly made up. (Yet they are real)
Yea, they must have a nice camera and a kick-ass modem.
