Mar 18 2009Rare Quadruple Moon Transit On Saturn
Will you look at that -- four of Saturn's moons (from left to right) Enceladus, Dione, Titan, and Mimas, all transiting its face at the same time. Amazing! This picture was taken by the Hubble Space Telescope and just recently released by NASA. You know, pictures like this really get me thinking about the beauty of space and just how small we are compared to the vast expanse outside our own atmosphere. Also, naked-ass aliens gettin' freaky deaky on the moon.
Hit the jump for a cool time lapse photo of the transit in progress.
Incredible quadruple transit on Saturn! [discover]
Thanks to Joemo, who was transiting Mars when a tire came off his rover and he caused a traffic jam.

Well the men come in these places
And the men are all the same
You dont look at their faces
And you dont ask their names
You dont think of them as human
You dont think of them at all
You keep your mind on the money
Keeping your eyes on the wall
Chorus
Im your private dancer
A dancer for money
Ill do what you want me to do
Im your private dancer
A dancer money
Any old music will do
I wanna make a million dollars
I wanna live out by the sea
Have a husband and some children
Yeah I guess I want a family
All the men come in these places
And the men are all the same
You dont look at their faces
And you dont ask their names
Repeat chorus twice
Deutschmarks or dollars
American express will nicely thank you
Let me loosen up your collar
Tell me do you wanna see me do the shimmy again
Repeat chorus

Whenever im trying to keep from busting a nut too early with some unfortunate broad I tricked into bed, I always attempt to comprehend the size of the Titan moon. True sad story but holy shit does it work.

Q: what is the fifth, what looks like another moon, orbiting white dot on the right side of Saturn? Another moon? Anyone know?
21. formerly SPELLINGNAZI© - March 18, 2009 6:22 PM
^ The black dots are just shadows....crap, enter the Daisy...
22. Darth - March 18, 2009 6:35 PM
Black and white aren't colors! But is grey a color!?
23. Daisy - March 18, 2009 7:56 PM
FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake becauise the shadow's are all wrong.
This is exactly like that scene in the movie Never Back Down where Max teams up with a fellow hostage who happens to have a black belt in karate to solve the perfect crime. In the process they play Russian roulette with a super intelligent chimpanzee. By the end of the movie they have sex with 5 washed up ex-SNL cast members and end up winning the admiration of their spouses, living happily ever after.
