Seriously "The Peaks Of Eternal Light"? Space tourism needs language out of the large paperback fantasy genre. posted by The Whelk at 12:18 PM on April 1, 2010

I was surprised to read that the Great Red Spot is so young! posted by brundlefly at 12:35 PM on April 1, 2010
Of course it's young. If it were old, it would be known as the Great Liver Spot. posted by Mcable at 12:38 PM on April 1, 2010 [1 favorite]

It's where all the New Age hippies will go - interstellar Sedona. posted by AdamCSnider at 4:26 PM on April 1, 2010

Wow! Amazing pictures - so much easier to grok than serious data from NASA et al. Two roundtrip tickets to Enceladus, please.
Somebody get cstross on the blower - he needs to put out an illustrated edition of Saturn's Children with these pix. My favorite space tourism novel - well, there's more to it than that but crisscrossing the solar system is part of the fun - would be even more of a blast with pictures of the scenery. posted by Quietgal at 6:40 PM on April 1, 2010
