--------------------------------- Hello Richard Tenney, We received quite a few questions to the Cassini website this week from people who asked about the possibility of Cassini taking an image of the interested comet 17P/Holmes which brightened suddenly a little over 2 weeks ago. Soo many questions that we turned it into a FAQ or Frequently Asked Question on our website. I thought you would enjoy the question and the answer. Here is answer to Does it make sense to point the cameras on the Cassini spacecraft toward Comet 17P/Holmes? If you have a question about Cassini, you can go to any of the Cassini webpages, and at the bottom of the page, click "Contact us" and ask your question. It can take a few weeks for a response - we get a lot of questions. But before asking, you can always read the FAQs. You can find them also on the bottom navigation bar of every Cassini web page. Those we get a lot of are turned into FAQs. And here is this months Whats Up - not about Saturn, Im afraid, but rather, about Mars and Mira Thats all for now!
