Good morganite, friends!! A very happy Saturday to you all. It's time to grab your cup of coffee or tea and enjoy some friendly conversation with one another. 😁
What better way to spend an 'astronomically curious' day than to have the Space Catdets take us through the telescope lens and on into outer space to enjoy a cats-eye's view of the cosmos?!! 😺 🔭 🧑🚀 🚀 🛰️ ☄️ 💫 🪐 😸 The Cassini scientists were more than happy to be inspired by kitties.... From the Space.com site:
"Saturn's kittens are a group of small clumps and baby moons, or moonlets, that occupy the planet's F ring. Like the rest of Saturn's rings, this thin outer ring is made up of countless particles that range in size. When enough of those particles bump into one another and stick together, they aggregate into larger clumps — and become eligible for a kitten name.
So far, the list of Saturn's kitten names includes several classics, like Fluffy, Garfield, Socks and Whiskers. These are unofficial nicknames for more-complicated (and less adorable) official titles like "Alpha Leonis Rev 9" (aka, Mittens)."
Now, please enjoy spending a few moments of your Caturday browsing the fun and/or interesting images here, or maybe you have some spaced out humour to share. Perhaps you have a more 'earthly' curious event you'd like to highlight today.... 🤔 😺 There's no obligation to post images. The only thing we hope you do is enjoy yourself.
