Well, summer has officially come to Earth’s northern hemisphere.
Meh. It’s been Summer in the north of Saturn’s largest moon since May 24th, 2017. To wit:
Orbiting the gas giant, Saturn’s moon Titan experiences the Saturnian seasons that are about 7 Earth-years long. Larger than inner planet Mercury, Titan was captured in this Cassini spacecraft image about two weeks after its northern summer began. The near-infrared view finds bright methane clouds drifting through Titan’s dense, hazy atmosphere as seen from a distance of about 507,000 kilometers. Below the clouds, dark hydrocarbon lakes sprawl near its fully illuminated north pole.

i can’t wait till google maps out space.
before we get to the stars some clever Aliens will hopefully stop us polluting the Galaxy
so someone else is going to sort it all out for us?
even better..
sort us out maybe, a galactic slap on the arse, we sure do deserve it
ever read Childhoods end by Clarke ? I guess that’s where I was going with it
no, but i will now – thanks for the tip
:)
An excellent book!
Also worth a read, though in my opinion not as good as Clarke’s, is The Sirens of Titan by Kurt Vonnegut. A little more comic, but as with all of Vonnegut’s books, seeks to explore the meaning of life.
and thank you for that tip ! I can’t wait to go buy new books
