Wired:
Enjoy all those fiery red images of Saturn from NASA's Cassini
orbiter? You can thank Carolyn Porco, the planetary scientist
who made its moons into stars -- web stars, that is.Porco is
the leader of the imaging team for NASA's Cassini orbiter,
which is currently circling Saturn in what may be the last
multibillion-dollar planetary mission for a long time. (Yeah,
budget cuts -- get used to way smaller missions with lots of
reusable parts.)
