Do I look THAT grumpy? I probably do. But I like the sentiment.

we-are-star-stuff:

Stop what you’re doing and look at this. Banded, backlit and beautiful, this verdant view of Saturn - just released by CICLOPS - is one of the most remarkable images of the planet ever captured by NASA’s Cassini spacecraft.

Writes Carolyn Porco, Cassini Imaging Team Leader and Director, in her just-updated Captain’s Log:

The mosaic we are releasing today does not contain Earth: Along with the sun, our planet is hidden behind Saturn. However, it was taken when Cassini was closer to Saturn and therefore shows more detail in the rings than the one from six years ago. It also is displayed as it truly is, in false-color … leaving a rather eerie and surreal impression on the viewer.

Of all the many glorious images we have received from Saturn, none are more strikingly unusual than those we have taken from Saturn’s shadow. They unveil a rare splendor seldom seen anywhere else in our solar system.

This one is our special gift to you, the people of the world, in this holiday season that brings to a close the year 2012. We fervently hope it serves as a reminder that we humans, though troubled and warlike, are also the dreamers, thinkers, and explorers inhabiting one achingly beautiful planet, yearning for the sublime, and capable of the magnificent. We hope it reminds you to protect our planet with all your might and cherish the life it so naturally sustains.

From all of us on Cassini, the happiest of holidays to everyone.

Absolutely remarkable. Bear in mind: views like this are only possible while the Sun is positionedbehind Saturn, relative to Cassini’s position. “The last time Cassini captured a view like this was in Sept. 2006,” explains the Cassini imaging team, “when it captured a mosaic processed to look like natural color, entitled In Saturn’s Shadow-The Pale Blue Dot’”:

“In that mosaic,” the Cassini team notes, “planet Earth put in a special appearance, making ‘In Saturn’s Shadow’ one of the most popular Cassini images to date.” As Porco noted in her Captain’s Log, Earth is hidden from view in the this, the latest backlit view of the ringed planet; but we suspect the image’s unprecedented detail and eerie, otherworldly hues will make it every bit as popular, in the long run, as its predecessor.

Read more about the image over at CICLOPS, where you’ll also find links to hi-res versions of the image.

This comic accurately sums up my feelings towards those who complain about The Hawkeye Initiative.

look, I am a huge David Willis fan. He is funny, brilliant, and bang on the mark.

But this? This is the single best and most important comic he has ever done and I am going to keep reblogging it until people stop making the argument in the first panel.

Hey you! How are you, and how is Clarion West, and Seattle? You’re probably super busy and don’t have much time to blog about it, but I hope you’re having that “It’s hard work but it’s fun” brand of fun. :D

Also, when you have time, you should log in to Steam!

Hey you - all is going amazingly well thank you - I hope the same is true for you, too!

This place is amazing - you’d think being (effectively) trapped in a giant house with 17 other people and your tutor would be horrible - fighting, arguments, ppl not getting on - but we all get on incredibly well. Their vetting process is amazing.

I’m on week 5 - Kelly link & Gavin Grant - who’re both really smart. Well, they like my writing, so of course I think they’re smart haha! It is hard work, but it’s also extremely rewarding. I’ve learned a lot about writing and the industry already.

Steam sadly runs like poop on this netbook, but I got a couple of emails this morning - so thank you so very much :D I hope they were super cheap! (And in some ways, I’m so glad I am missing that summer sale, because Steam are so very evil, in a good way.)

Speak to you properly when I get back!

Whedonesqued: Recap of the last 5 minutes of the Firefly reunion panel:

Jensen asks Whedon what the fans have meant to him. What happens next is one of the most emotionally moving moments I’ve seen at Comic-Con. Whedon struggles, or seems to, for the right words.

Somebody in the crowd yells out, “We love you!”

Whedon hears this, struggles some more.
