This is an ‘html-only’ version of Scribblings with no database behind it. This means it is not possible to search it. I am working on a new version with which I am hoping to eventually put back into the main site. The new version is here but please note that there is no link directly back to the main site.

Gorgeous views of Saturn
There are some gorgeous pictures of Saturn from the Cassini-Huygens spacecraft on the Ciclops site at the University of Arizona.
At the moment the pictures are updated weekly though this is likely to change as the craft gets closer. The stunning 29 April picture (which was taken on 27 March) is the last which will show the whole planet in one picture. As the craft gets closer the whole planet simply won’t fit in the frame any longer.
Should be well worth following the mission for the next few weeks. On 18 May the craft enters the Saturnian system and will then spend a few weeks making a tour of some of the moons. This will include Titan, the second largest moon in the Solar System, where the team hope to make a movie.
Great stuff 
An apology
Since moving the site to a new server Scribblings is not as easy to find your way around as it used to be. It used to depend on a script and a database on the server but is currently served as ‘flat html’.
I have some ideas about how to make it a bit easier but they depend on writing another script. I hope to get around to it ‘eventually’.
