PASADENA, Calif. -- NASA scientists are marveling over the extent of ruffles and dust clouds revealed in the rings of Saturn during the planet's equinox last month. Scientists once thought the rings were almost completely flat, but new images reveal the heights of some newly discovered bumps in the rings are as high as the Rocky Mountains. NASA released the images Monday.

Great link. I already knew this of course. The greys take some of the dorm residents for probing. Sometimes they let me come also!

Next time you go on a medical sabbatical,  ask if they will let you bring a camera and take some pictures!
