Hello again.
This week: images from of what Annalee Newitz at io9 thinks will be the postcards people will send home from their interplanetary vacations 500 years from now.
The shots are taken from Michael Benson’s new art book Planetfall: New Solar System Visions.

Saturn’s tiny moon Mimas in transit across rippling ring shadows on the planet’s northern hemisphere during that hemisphere’s winter. Mimas is only 246 miles in diameter. South is up. Mosaic composite photographs. Taken by Cassini, January 18, 2005.

[Great rant by Newitz – including F-bombs: Stop pretending we aren’t living in the Space Age.]
