I’m one of the mission controllers for Cassini at JPL...the current one-way light time is: 1 H 16 M.

I was on the design team for the ISS. Frankly, watching it in orbit, even now, is better than sex. Lasts longer, too.

Just checked with the website heavens-above.com. Saturn is currently about 858 million miles away. It was at opposition on June 15th of this year.

I'm confused as to how the circa 1997 camera on Cassini has HD resolution from a BILLION miles away from earth?

LOL

(and double LOL)

Reminds me of how NASA has been writing the word "SEX" in the clouds on some of the admittedly fake "blue marble" earth composites (fake photos) both from 2012 and 2015.

Triple LOL
