darenw's Journal: Tethys and Hyperion

We are being slashdotted! The intriguing new images of Hyperion and Tethys went online (ciclops.org) and we watch the apparent sluggishness of our http server. It's actually a quite powerful machine set up as right as can be by our talented sysadmin, a machine that never breaks a sweat with even the biggest spikes of traffic, but i guess we need to convince the boss to upgrade from the 300 baud modem as our link to the outside world....

It has been fun watching these images appear in the media, but now it is late and i must sleep well so I can help make more of these magnificent images - i think it is Dione getting the next flyby. So many great images have been made, every target we image in the Saturn system has had surprises - Cassini scientists are having more fun than cats at the tuna cannery.
