Like many of us this summer, NASA’s Cassini spacecraft has been doing some sightseeing, though I suspect few of our vacations can rival the tours of NASA’s Saturn-orbiting probe.
Over the weekend Cassini sent back pictures of its visits to the Saturn moons Enceladus, Tethys and Dione.
It sure puts my shots of Hoover Dam in perspective.
