This probably deserves a special heads up, even if Patrick has already qued this up for the news. http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2009/19feb_quadrupletransit.htm?list89139 "On Feb. 24th, there's going to be a quadruple transit of Saturn's moons," says Keith Noll of the Hubble Space Telescope Science Institute. "Titan, Mimas, Dione and Enceladus will pass directly in front of Saturn and we'll see their silhouettes crossing Saturn's cloudtops—all four at the same time." - Kurt P.S. - Probably a result of that end-on view of the rings that we now have.
