Slowly rotating Titan (Day 20 of 30)

[nanila]

Today was my birthday, and amongst the many lovely gifts I received (favourite perfume! bubble bath! whisky!) was Slowly Rotating Titan, moon of Saturn, which has come from My Friend Josh to join Slowly Rotating Jupiter (DW/LJ).

"Slowly rotating Titan" (Watch on YouTube)

19 second YouTube video of rotating Titan on a windowsill. Very soothing, especially with the sound off, because otherwise you can faintly hear Keiki playing Minecraft in the background.

Now it is time to snuggle up with my new book (Mudlarking) and maybe a wee dram, and finish digesting the amazing roast dinner the bloke made.

It's got the surface mapping images from the Cassini mission on it, which makes me very happy. :)

I hope your next year is even better than the last few.

And oh my, I love the slowly rotating otherworldly globes!

[nanila]

Thank you. I hope this year contains less political jackassery than last year. I'm not very optimistic about that, but hey ho!

They are rather lovely, aren't hey? This one has Cassini's surface mapping images on it. :)

Happy birthday! How cool to get a whole moon as a present!

[nanila]

Thank you! Yes, it is. I feel it will be a long time before I tire of watching it (aka never).
