No, there is no magnificent 'planetary parade' in the evening right now as the internet shouts from everywhere but on the other hand there is also more to see than just Jupiter high in the sky - as I could confirm Wednesday from Bochum, Germany, at 51.5°N, #Venus is already a bright if rather low evening star while #Saturn and #Mercury could still be spotted above her: see https://www.facebook.com/dan.fischer.393/posts/pfbid027a6qUBbjXPf96BtzV89HNTcEA8Z2y9gorSCns8sTzS3nTFUpngTXwagopfUAw6Ngl for more pictures and hard numbers!

#Planet Parade over Sydney Opera House
This week, just after sunset, #Mercury, #Venus, #Saturn, and #Jupiter are visible to the naked eye in a line from the horizon. #Uranus and #Neptune can be seen with a #telescope. Best viewed this weekend globally along the ecliptic plane.

For nearly 13 years, the #Cassini probe orbited #saturn, its instruments measuring the energy and particle fluxes between the gas giant and its moons—particularly between Saturn and #Enceladus.
Analysis of the collected data revealed the existence of wave activity characteristic of #Alfvén #waves which occur when Saturn's magnetic field passes close to Enceladus. This is a first, demonstrating the long-distance influence of moons on their host planet.

Our moon, runner-up: Saturnrise by Tom Williams
This image shows the tail-end of the lunar #occultation of Saturn in August last year. Although rare for any one location on Earth, 2024 saw 10 occultations – where the moon passes in front of a star or planet. Taken in Trowbridge, Wiltshire, UK

Fishing for the #Moon
#Earth's Moon ranks 5th in size among Solar System moons, larger than #Pluto and Eris but 1/4 Earth's size. This photo captures the Full Moon rising over Italy's Adriatic Sea, seemingly small enough to be ensnared by an old fishing rig.

love that marshall allen is entering a new far-out experimental phase at age 101. long jams inside dreamy/almost-dubby atmospheres on "the omniverse oriki" with the ade ilu ensemble & the arkestra's dm hotep (pairing well with the recent ghost horizons collection). beautiful new dispatch from the still expanding @SunRaUniverse. https://hightwo.bandcamp.com/album/the-omniverse-oriki #jazz #saturn

I wrote an article about the SEGA Saturn.
For years I read that the Saturn that the 3D capabilities of the Saturn were kind of hacks added on top of a 2D machine, in reaction to the Sony PlayStation. This story always puzzled me because it didn't make much sense.
So I dug about the Saturn and wrote this article in which I try to demonstrate that the Saturn was designed, from the beginning, to be able to produce good 3D for its time.
Of course there are plenty of comparisons with how the PS works 😉
