Got to give credit where credit is due. NASA released this today (quote from NASA) "This raw, unprocessed image of Helene was taken by Cassini on March 3, 2010." I have heard of the phrase "bean counting" many times---NASA's new practice is ROCK counting. I always wonder about who names these newly discovered rocks. Well, one day they will run out of names. NASA should start an auction on E-bay for naming rights. If some private people are willing to pay millions of dollars to physically go up into outer space, imagine how much someone might pay to have a distant rock named after themselves. That money could go into funding future missions...
