Dione, to my mind the prettiest of Saturn's grey moons, and Enceladus, snow-white world of mystery, touch heads for this Cassini image. Well, okay, they're still over three hundred thousand kilometres from one another, but objects in space have a more nuanced take on physical intimacy.

I wonder how Enceladus stays so snow-covered, when Dione doesn't even seem to have any at its poles.
But then I can barely comprehend how putting trays of water into my freezer results in ice cubes a few hours later...
I like the idea of objects in space having a "take" on things.
Hope you're okay. Send me an email, if you like: I have two emails and I prefer you use HortonHunter24@yahoo.com, but I still get things at FloraineRochellekay@yahoo.com.
Larry and Bernie send you purrs and squeaks. They meow, but when they have something of importance to say, it comes out in a tenor voice squeak.
i love these fotos...saw "2001 a space odyssey" again on tv recently--and like it even more now...the impersonality of the characters quite fitting to the story..a chillingness
