Dwarf Planet Ceres: Occator Crater | Enhanced View | NASA JPL
Aug. 6, 2015: The intriguing brightest spots on Ceres lie in a crater named Occator, which is about 60 miles (90 kilometers)
across and 2 miles (4 kilometers) deep. This image comes from an animation generated using data from NASA's Dawn spacecraft.
Vertical relief has been exaggerated by a factor of five. Exaggerating the relief helps scientists understand and visualize
the topography much more easily, and highlights features that are sometimes subtle.

Thanks to the illumination angle, Mimas (right) and Dione (left) appear to be staring up at a giant Saturn looming in the background.

Although certainly large enough to be noticeable, moons like Mimas (246 miles or 396 kilometers across) and Dione (698 miles or 1123 kilometers across) are tiny compared to Saturn (75,400 miles or 120,700 kilometers across). Even the enormous moon Titan (3,200 miles or 5,150 kilometers across) is dwarfed by the giant planet.

This view looks toward the unilluminated side of the rings from about one degree of the ring plane. The image was taken with the Cassini spacecraft wide-angle camera on May 27, 2015 using a spectral filter which preferentially admits wavelengths of near-infrared light centered at 728 nanometers.

Japanese distillery will send its whisky to age in space

Suntory, Japan's distillery whose whisky was crowned as world's best in 2014, is sending its beverages into space.
In a surprisingly down-to-earth press release, the company focused on its scientific efforts, calling this endeavor
an "experiment on the development of mellowness in alcoholic beverage through the use of a microgravity environment.”

Philae probe finds evidence that comets can be cosmic labs
http://phys.org/news/2015-07-philae-probe-evidence-comets-cosmic.html

Scientists say the Philae space probe has gathered data supporting the theory that comets can serve as cosmic laboratories in which some of the essential elements for life are assembled.

Philae, which is part of the European Space Agency's Rosetta mission, used two separate instruments to 'sniff' for molecules during its bumpy landing on comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko last November.

In an article published Thursday in the journal Science, researchers said they spent months analyzing the data and concluded that 67P contains at least 16 organic compounds. Four of them, including acetone, hadn't been detected on a comet before.
