BIKE RIDE VIETNAM 2009.wmv
The challenge, to travel 1000 miles (1600 kilometres) from Hồ Chí Minh City (Saigon), in the south of Vietnam to Hạ Long city, near Hanoi (Hà Nội) in the north in eight days, was undertaken by ray stack, patrick slattery, colum gleeson and alan fitz Fitzgerald. [2] The destination for this challenge was a floating dock in Ha Long Bay. [3] The primary vehicles were motorbikes.

Saturn's moon, Mimas passes in front of the larger moon Rhea
interpolation was used to smooth the moons' motions between the frames. In this video, Mimas (396 kilometers, 246 miles across) moves in front of the rings. Rhea (1528 kilometers, 949 miles across) reveals the delicate separations within the rings as the thin line of the F ring appears before the backdrop of the mid-southern latitudes of the moon. Mimas travels at an average speed of 14 kilometers per second (31000 mph). Rhea's average speed is about 8 kilometers per second (18000 mph). ( ...

Moon Jumble
projected to a uniform view and computer interpolation was used to smooth the moons' motion between the frames. At the start of the movie, Rhea (1528 kilometers, 949 miles across) is at the lower left and moving to the right, as seen by Cassini. Janus (179 kilometers, 111 miles across) is near Rhea in the lower left. Mimas (396 kilometers, 246 miles across) is near the center top and is moving left. About one-third of the way through the movie, Pandora (81 kilometers, 50 miles across) enters ...

Catching Big Sister
. The images were re-projected to a uniform view and computer interpolation was used to smooth the moons' motions between the frames. At the start of the movie, Janus (179 kilometers, 111 miles across) appears as a small dot just below the rings on the left of the frame. The larger Rhea (1528 kilometers, 949 miles across) also starts on the left but can be seen moving more slowly across the frame. Janus is traveling almost twice as fast as Rhea with an average speed of about 16 kilometers ...

Moons in Motion
uniform view, and computer interpolation was used to smooth the moons' motions between the frames. In the movie, Prometheus (86 kilometers, 53 miles across) enters the frame from the right and passes behind Tethys (1062 kilometers, 660 miles across). Prometheus appears as a tiny bright dot beyond the main rings. Pandora (81 kilometers, 50 miles across) can also be seen at the bottom of the frame. The unlit side of the planet is on the left. Prometheus and Pandora's average speeds are each ...

Saturn Ring Shadows On Janus
right. The movie is a concatenation of 12 still images. The images were taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on Aug. 27, 2009. The view was acquired at a distance of approximately 268000 kilometers (167000 miles) from Janus and at a Sun-Janus-spacecraft, or phase, angle of 25 degrees. Image scale is 2 kilometers (5271 feet) per pixel. Credit: NASA/JPL/Space Science Institute ... Saturn "Saturn's moons" "Saturn's rings" Janus "Saturn ring shadows" "Saturn ...

Saturn's Moons: Catching Big Sister
of about 16 kilometers per second (36000 mph) compared to Rhea's average speed of roughly 8 kilometers per second (18000 mph). In this view, Janus is approximately 2.3 million kilometers (1.4 million miles) away from Cassini. Rhea is closer to the spacecraft at a distance of approximately 1.9 million kilometers (1.2 million miles). In the original images, the scale of Rhea was 11 kilometers (7 miles) per pixel. The images have been scaled down by a factor of two to reduce the movie's ...
