Amazing Saturn Picture

[Owain Taggart]

Right. Another word for it is an orbital telescope, similar to Hubble, and that's what I was referring to, in case anyone was confused.

Its a probe around Saturn. Not a telescope.

It's both, really.

Yeah, I was speaking in terms of generalities anyway. It's certainly not a traditional telescope by any means, but then so was Hubble. But I'll admit that It does have many instruments, and taking pictures is only one of its jobs, so it's not strictly a telescope.


Anyhow, whatever. It's how it got it that's important.

Well, that was a convenient little paragraph.

Haha -- I know! I was worried I was going to have to rely on my memory of my college astronomy classes and try to explain it myself.
