The first surface images of Titan, Saturn's largest moon, were unveiled Saturday in the Kuiper Space Sciences building after the Huygens probe landed on the moon Friday.

Part of the Cassini spacecraft designed to photograph Saturn, the Huygen's probe is a device designed to allow an imaging system to detach from the spacecraft and successfully enter Titan's unpredictable atmosphere.

A projector screen was set up in a third-floor lecture hall of the Kuiper Space Sciences building to assist describing the history of the mission, details of the Descent Imager/Spectral Radiometer (DISR) photographing instrument and pictures of Titan. [Read article]

Revealing because it gave me a snapshot into a major problem in our society: the phenomenon of simplistic rhetoric and confused thinking. Put another way, the problem of addressing adult issues with children's logic.

The bumper sticker read, "Annoy a Liberal: Work, Succeed, Be Happy." My first instinct was to think of a counter-slogan, which might read, "Annoy a Conservative: Think, Share, Avoid Complacency."

To honor such contributions, the UA Museum of Art is featuring Davis’ work in the exhibit “James G. Davis: Paintings and Works on Paper, 1988-2004.” Read article]
