Happy Earth Birthday, Cassini!

NASA's Cassini mission has been orbiting Saturn for five Earth years as of June 30, 2009. That's about one sixth of a Saturnian year, enough time for the spacecraft to have observed seasonal changes in the planet, its moons and sunlight's angle on the dramatic rings.

So does that mean I'd still be a toddler in Saturnian years? Cool...
Happy belated birthday, Cassini!
