Journal darenw's Journal: Fountains of Enceladus
Well, this was worth getting up early for - Enceladus plume images, spectacular ones, released from CICLOPS today. http://ciclops.org/view.php?id=1688. There's definitely something going on there at Enceladus' south pole.
Seeing this heavenly orb with what appears in overexposed images like rocket exhaust reminded me of a painting - Frank Kelly Freas' illustration of the Earth boosted by a giant rocket engine embedded in Antarctica (hmm, the south pole...) - art for the story "Sins of the Fathers", Stan Schmidt, published in Analog 1973, and reproduced in Frank Kelly Freas: The Art of Science Fiction, publ. in 1977.
