"This ultraviolet image released from the Cassini spacecraft in orbit around Saturn shows, from the inside out, the "Cassini division" in faint red at left is followed by the A ring in its entirety. The A ring begins with a "dirty" interior of red followed by a general pattern of more turquoise as it spreads away from the planet, which indicates denser material made up of ice. The red band roughly three-fourths of the way outward in the A ring is known as the Encke gap. (AP Photo/University of Colorado, LASP)"

Dear God,

Let the Huygens probe perform as flawlessly as the rest of this mission has to date.

Yerz,
