Cassini is a NASA spacecraft which has been making amazing images and measurements of Saturn, its moons, and its rings since 2004. On June 10, Cassini will image Saturn's moons Rhea and Enceladus, and a region of Saturn's rings that includes the tiny moon Pan. JPL is now sponsoring a contest where you (if you are an elementary or high school student) write an essay describing which of these images you would like to analyze and why. Winners will be invited to discuss their essays with JPL Cassini scientists via teleconference, which should be pretty cool. For more info, go here, and if anyone of you have any questions concerning your own entry, feel free to email me. Good luck!
