Encounters
As this is being written, the shuttle Endeavour has lifted off. The 16-day mission, the longest construction trip yet, carries a Japanese module to ISS. There will be at least 5 EVA's. These boys could use a better spacesuit.
On March 12 Cassini will make its closest flyby yet of Enceladus, within 50 km! The 2-minute video from JPL describes what we may see. The power source of Enceladus' geysers is considered unknown. Their location at the South Pole is also a mystery. Polar jets are telltale signs of a Black Hole, and this is a good place to seek one.

Heh Louise, it seems that Mottle has honoured you with some lengthy strangulated gurgling today.
Just looked at it, thanks. Both there and in Physics Today the speed of light is becoming a subject for discussion. In this business one gets used to comments that in comparison make LM seem like a friend.
Yes, at least Mottle is honest.
