00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:12,960
10 seconds

2
00:00:12,970 --> 00:00:21,590
[Music]

3
00:00:26,150 --> 00:00:23,590
welcome everyone this is a view of

4
00:00:28,150 --> 00:00:26,160
nasa's jet propulsion laboratory nestled

5
00:00:30,630 --> 00:00:28,160
in the foothills of the san gabriel

6
00:00:32,470 --> 00:00:30,640
mountains near pasadena california

7
00:00:35,670 --> 00:00:32,480
while you're looking down from the skies

8
00:00:38,549 --> 00:00:35,680
at jpl today jplers will be looking to

9
00:00:41,430 --> 00:00:38,559
the skies to weigh that saturn

10
00:00:43,990 --> 00:00:41,440
and maybe doing some hula hooping too

11
00:00:45,990 --> 00:00:44,000
hello i'm gay hill people are gathering

12
00:00:48,630 --> 00:00:46,000
on the mall behind me for a rare

13
00:00:50,869 --> 00:00:48,640
opportunity one of our spacecraft nasa's

14
00:00:53,430 --> 00:00:50,879
cassini will be imaging saturn and its

15
00:00:56,069 --> 00:00:53,440
rings today and our planet will be

16
00:00:58,470 --> 00:00:56,079
included in that picture it's not often

17
00:01:00,630 --> 00:00:58,480
a spacecraft turns his camera towards

18
00:01:02,709 --> 00:01:00,640
earth to take a picture of home this

19
00:01:05,750 --> 00:01:02,719
time we know about it ahead of time to

20
00:01:07,910 --> 00:01:05,760
give people a heads up no pun intended

21
00:01:09,590 --> 00:01:07,920
to organize something that allows the

22
00:01:11,830 --> 00:01:09,600
world to get involved

23
00:01:14,950 --> 00:01:11,840
the cassini team is inviting people to

24
00:01:17,910 --> 00:01:14,960
look up and wave at saturn when the

25
00:01:20,149 --> 00:01:17,920
cameras are snapping a picture of earth

26
00:01:24,830 --> 00:01:20,159
so here's the imaging window it will

27
00:01:29,670 --> 00:01:24,840
start at 2 27 pacific daylight time 5 27

28
00:01:32,390 --> 00:01:29,680
eastern or 2127 universal time now once

29
00:01:35,109 --> 00:01:32,400
it begins it'll take about 14 minutes to

30
00:01:37,429 --> 00:01:35,119
acquire the earth portion of the image

31
00:01:40,469 --> 00:01:37,439
and while that's happening folks will be

32
00:01:42,710 --> 00:01:40,479
waving at saturn so go ahead send us a

33
00:01:45,910 --> 00:01:42,720
picture of you waving at saturn by using

34
00:01:47,190 --> 00:01:45,920
the hashtag wave at saturn when posting

35
00:01:50,310 --> 00:01:47,200
on twitter

36
00:01:53,350 --> 00:01:50,320
facebook instagram and google plus it

37
00:01:55,749 --> 00:01:53,360
may be used in a special collage created

38
00:01:57,910 --> 00:01:55,759
by the cassini team and we're already

39
00:02:00,950 --> 00:01:57,920
getting pictures here and one of them is

40
00:02:04,230 --> 00:02:00,960
from amateur astronomer david tyler from

41
00:02:06,870 --> 00:02:04,240
blackwell heath england that's a picture

42
00:02:09,589 --> 00:02:06,880
that he took overnight we also received

43
00:02:12,390 --> 00:02:09,599
this cartoon from jim hunt

44
00:02:14,309 --> 00:02:12,400
this is his self-portrait of himself

45
00:02:16,790 --> 00:02:14,319
waving at saturn

46
00:02:18,949 --> 00:02:16,800
all right let's begin to fill you in on

47
00:02:21,190 --> 00:02:18,959
what's happening we have scott edgington

48
00:02:23,589 --> 00:02:21,200
with us he is the deputy project

49
00:02:26,229 --> 00:02:23,599
scientist for cassini so scott tell

50
00:02:27,270 --> 00:02:26,239
folks what what this way that saturn is

51
00:02:29,270 --> 00:02:27,280
all about

52
00:02:32,070 --> 00:02:29,280
well we're here to

53
00:02:34,390 --> 00:02:32,080
to participate in a worldwide event to

54
00:02:36,869 --> 00:02:34,400
to in conjunction with the cassini

55
00:02:38,710 --> 00:02:36,879
spacecraft to wave at saturn we're going

56
00:02:40,470 --> 00:02:38,720
to be behind the planet and we're going

57
00:02:42,390 --> 00:02:40,480
to snap pictures of the earth while

58
00:02:45,110 --> 00:02:42,400
while we're behind the planet

59
00:02:47,350 --> 00:02:45,120
now now cassini is really doing some

60
00:02:49,110 --> 00:02:47,360
serious business though it's not just to

61
00:02:51,430 --> 00:02:49,120
get this image of earth

62
00:02:53,589 --> 00:02:51,440
tell us why cassini is up there

63
00:02:56,790 --> 00:02:53,599
well you have a video here

64
00:02:59,670 --> 00:02:56,800
we could illustrate we're there to study

65
00:03:01,589 --> 00:02:59,680
saturn the atmosphere the rings around

66
00:03:03,750 --> 00:03:01,599
saturn

67
00:03:05,990 --> 00:03:03,760
we're also there to study the magnetic

68
00:03:07,670 --> 00:03:06,000
field of saturn the magnetic bubble

69
00:03:09,430 --> 00:03:07,680
surrounding saturn

70
00:03:11,430 --> 00:03:09,440
we're there to study this interesting

71
00:03:13,910 --> 00:03:11,440
moon called titan it's a very earth-like

72
00:03:15,990 --> 00:03:13,920
moon uh we call it typically call it a

73
00:03:18,070 --> 00:03:16,000
frozen earth

74
00:03:21,830 --> 00:03:18,080
and then we're also there to study the

75
00:03:24,630 --> 00:03:21,840
other icy satellites including enceladus

76
00:03:27,030 --> 00:03:24,640
enceladus is interesting because it has

77
00:03:29,190 --> 00:03:27,040
geysers that is sending off all this

78
00:03:31,830 --> 00:03:29,200
water ice into the surrounding

79
00:03:32,789 --> 00:03:31,840
environment and how are we going to

80
00:03:35,270 --> 00:03:32,799
image

81
00:03:36,949 --> 00:03:35,280
this picture it's going to be a mosaic

82
00:03:38,789 --> 00:03:36,959
can you walk us through what the

83
00:03:41,190 --> 00:03:38,799
spacecraft will be doing

84
00:03:43,830 --> 00:03:41,200
yes if you imagine this is saturn you

85
00:03:44,869 --> 00:03:43,840
are the sun shining on saturn

86
00:03:46,789 --> 00:03:44,879
and then

87
00:03:48,869 --> 00:03:46,799
you have the dark side of saturn okay

88
00:03:50,070 --> 00:03:48,879
cassini will be flying

89
00:03:52,550 --> 00:03:50,080
behind

90
00:03:54,949 --> 00:03:52,560
saturn into its shadow

91
00:03:57,429 --> 00:03:54,959
and then you have a mosaic

92
00:03:59,190 --> 00:03:57,439
we can show the actual footprint of how

93
00:04:00,869 --> 00:03:59,200
this mosaic will be made we can roll

94
00:04:03,190 --> 00:04:00,879
that now there it is

95
00:04:04,710 --> 00:04:03,200
there it is you could see each footprint

96
00:04:08,070 --> 00:04:04,720
being laid

97
00:04:10,710 --> 00:04:08,080
across saturn and the ring system so

98
00:04:13,270 --> 00:04:10,720
each one of those is a posted stamp

99
00:04:15,830 --> 00:04:13,280
image of saturn and the rings

100
00:04:18,789 --> 00:04:15,840
and those will be woven together yes

101
00:04:20,310 --> 00:04:18,799
those will be woven together uh you know

102
00:04:22,629 --> 00:04:20,320
take some time to piece them all

103
00:04:24,870 --> 00:04:22,639
together and uh they will be taken in

104
00:04:26,390 --> 00:04:24,880
color too so you're gonna get a natural

105
00:04:28,390 --> 00:04:26,400
color image

106
00:04:31,430 --> 00:04:28,400
so what can people expect

107
00:04:32,310 --> 00:04:31,440
this image of earth will they be able to

108
00:04:35,350 --> 00:04:32,320
see

109
00:04:37,350 --> 00:04:35,360
pictures of people waving up at saturn

110
00:04:40,469 --> 00:04:37,360
unfortunately not uh

111
00:04:42,230 --> 00:04:40,479
our camera is a one megapixel camera

112
00:04:45,350 --> 00:04:42,240
it's the best one megapixel camera out

113
00:04:48,390 --> 00:04:45,360
there by the way and uh so uh but with

114
00:04:50,710 --> 00:04:48,400
that the distance from saturn to to

115
00:04:51,430 --> 00:04:50,720
earth is about a billion kilometers

116
00:04:55,510 --> 00:04:51,440
so

117
00:04:57,749 --> 00:04:55,520
gonna be about two pixels one or two

118
00:05:00,469 --> 00:04:57,759
pixels so what might we see that picture

119
00:05:02,390 --> 00:05:00,479
when will it be out that that one pixel

120
00:05:04,390 --> 00:05:02,400
one or two pixel picture well it takes

121
00:05:06,710 --> 00:05:04,400
about a day or two to get the data all

122
00:05:08,710 --> 00:05:06,720
the data onto the ground and once it's

123
00:05:10,390 --> 00:05:08,720
on the ground it needs to be processed

124
00:05:14,150 --> 00:05:10,400
by our software

125
00:05:16,390 --> 00:05:14,160
to clean it up and take care of any uh

126
00:05:18,710 --> 00:05:16,400
instrument artifacts and then that will

127
00:05:20,550 --> 00:05:18,720
be released for the public so a few days

128
00:05:22,390 --> 00:05:20,560
a few days and the

129
00:05:24,710 --> 00:05:22,400
picture of the

130
00:05:26,870 --> 00:05:24,720
entire saturn and its rings will take

131
00:05:28,230 --> 00:05:26,880
several hours to bring in and when will

132
00:05:30,629 --> 00:05:28,240
we see that

133
00:05:32,629 --> 00:05:30,639
that takes a longer time to stitch

134
00:05:35,029 --> 00:05:32,639
together you have to align each of those

135
00:05:36,870 --> 00:05:35,039
footprints up just right to make sure

136
00:05:39,510 --> 00:05:36,880
that everything's aligned and not

137
00:05:41,909 --> 00:05:39,520
distorted and uh and then they'll make a

138
00:05:44,390 --> 00:05:41,919
color image of that so that takes some

139
00:05:46,390 --> 00:05:44,400
time to line everything up so is it so

140
00:05:48,790 --> 00:05:46,400
roughly three weeks no this is not the

141
00:05:51,990 --> 00:05:48,800
first time that we're getting an image

142
00:05:54,550 --> 00:05:52,000
of earth from a spacecraft is that right

143
00:05:56,310 --> 00:05:54,560
yes um of course we have all these earth

144
00:05:58,870 --> 00:05:56,320
orbiting satellites that take pictures

145
00:06:01,510 --> 00:05:58,880
of earth but the first deep space

146
00:06:05,350 --> 00:06:01,520
imaging of earth was done by voyager 1

147
00:06:09,029 --> 00:06:05,360
after the neptune encounter in 1990

148
00:06:11,189 --> 00:06:09,039
the second time was in 2006 with cassini

149
00:06:13,909 --> 00:06:11,199
uh where we did the same thing we took a

150
00:06:15,510 --> 00:06:13,919
mosaic and saturn earth was just right

151
00:06:18,150 --> 00:06:15,520
there and we snapped a picture of the

152
00:06:20,309 --> 00:06:18,160
earth this is the first time that we

153
00:06:22,230 --> 00:06:20,319
have told people that we are taking

154
00:06:24,710 --> 00:06:22,240
their picture so that makes it very

155
00:06:27,909 --> 00:06:24,720
special and gives us the opportunity to

156
00:06:29,909 --> 00:06:27,919
wave and hula hoop that's right well it

157
00:06:32,150 --> 00:06:29,919
will be a fun day and we have a lot of

158
00:06:34,070 --> 00:06:32,160
people out there we have people already

159
00:06:36,550 --> 00:06:34,080
tweeting their photos to us and thank

160
00:06:39,110 --> 00:06:36,560
you very much this is going to be great

161
00:06:40,309 --> 00:06:39,120
all right we are about six minutes past

162
00:06:43,110 --> 00:06:40,319
the hour

163
00:06:46,150 --> 00:06:43,120
and uh as scott mentioned cassini has

164
00:06:49,590 --> 00:06:46,160
been a very very successful mission it

165
00:06:51,830 --> 00:06:49,600
celebrates sweet 16 this year 16 years

166
00:06:55,570 --> 00:06:51,840
of operation and here's a look at some

167
00:07:11,430 --> 00:07:08,390
[Music]

168
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:11,440
and liftoff of the cassini spacecraft on

169
00:07:19,770 --> 00:07:33,909
[Music]

170
00:07:54,130 --> 00:07:36,230
we have a doppler signature with engine

171
00:08:54,050 --> 00:08:03,590
[Music]

172
00:09:09,880 --> 00:08:54,060
[Applause]

173
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:10,760
[Music]

174
00:09:19,829 --> 00:09:13,170
[Applause]

175
00:09:24,150 --> 00:09:21,829
the cassini mission has been extended

176
00:09:28,150 --> 00:09:24,160
twice and will continue to operate at

177
00:09:31,030 --> 00:09:28,160
saturn until september 2017

178
00:09:33,750 --> 00:09:31,040
and it is about nine minutes past the

179
00:09:38,870 --> 00:09:33,760
hour and the time to begin the wave once

180
00:09:41,590 --> 00:09:38,880
again is 2 27 pacific time 5 27 eastern

181
00:09:45,110 --> 00:09:41,600
do not forget to send us your waves via

182
00:09:46,310 --> 00:09:45,120
social media use the hashtag wave at

183
00:09:51,030 --> 00:09:46,320
saturn

184
00:09:53,990 --> 00:09:51,040
gotten a couple of pics first one here

185
00:09:57,269 --> 00:09:54,000
is from johnson space center

186
00:09:59,590 --> 00:09:57,279
those are all their student interns for

187
00:10:01,750 --> 00:09:59,600
the summer and they are standing by live

188
00:10:04,630 --> 00:10:01,760
in mission control that's a photo they

189
00:10:07,430 --> 00:10:04,640
shot just a moment a few months ago and

190
00:10:09,910 --> 00:10:07,440
there it is hashtag wave at saturn we

191
00:10:12,790 --> 00:10:09,920
also have a picture from canada they are

192
00:10:16,630 --> 00:10:12,800
also doing a bit of a wave party

193
00:10:19,990 --> 00:10:16,640
and we have a picture coming to us from

194
00:10:21,910 --> 00:10:20,000
the eddington astronomical society you

195
00:10:24,949 --> 00:10:21,920
are going to hear more from them they

196
00:10:27,750 --> 00:10:24,959
are having a wave party at a castle an

197
00:10:29,910 --> 00:10:27,760
800 year old castle and will be hearing

198
00:10:31,990 --> 00:10:29,920
from a member of theirs

199
00:10:34,069 --> 00:10:32,000
so now let me introduce you to a

200
00:10:36,150 --> 00:10:34,079
scientist who will be working on this

201
00:10:39,110 --> 00:10:36,160
image joe burns is a member of the

202
00:10:42,150 --> 00:10:39,120
cassini imaging team he joins us via

203
00:10:43,990 --> 00:10:42,160
skype from cornell university in ithaca

204
00:10:47,110 --> 00:10:44,000
new york hi joe

205
00:10:49,030 --> 00:10:47,120
hi how are you gay i'm just fine so tell

206
00:10:51,350 --> 00:10:49,040
us a little bit about the special

207
00:10:52,550 --> 00:10:51,360
geometry of what we have to do to get

208
00:10:54,870 --> 00:10:52,560
this picture

209
00:10:56,790 --> 00:10:54,880
yeah as scott mentioned we've got to get

210
00:10:58,470 --> 00:10:56,800
into the shadow of saturn behind saturn

211
00:10:59,829 --> 00:10:58,480
and look back toward the the sun we

212
00:11:01,829 --> 00:10:59,839
can't look directly at the sun because

213
00:11:03,750 --> 00:11:01,839
it would damage our spacecraft

214
00:11:05,350 --> 00:11:03,760
but right in that vicinity of the sun

215
00:11:06,949 --> 00:11:05,360
within a couple of degrees will be the

216
00:11:09,110 --> 00:11:06,959
earth and so we can see that and we can

217
00:11:11,430 --> 00:11:09,120
also see the rings in a very special

218
00:11:14,389 --> 00:11:11,440
sort of light here's here's an image

219
00:11:16,069 --> 00:11:14,399
from 2006 where we did this once before

220
00:11:18,710 --> 00:11:16,079
and you see it looks totally different

221
00:11:20,870 --> 00:11:18,720
than the saturn that you see on approach

222
00:11:22,630 --> 00:11:20,880
and that's because these particles are

223
00:11:24,150 --> 00:11:22,640
highlighted very small particles are

224
00:11:26,150 --> 00:11:24,160
highlighted because they're in what's

225
00:11:27,670 --> 00:11:26,160
called forward scattered light with the

226
00:11:29,990 --> 00:11:27,680
sun coming in over their shoulder

227
00:11:30,870 --> 00:11:30,000
essentially you see the same thing with

228
00:11:32,949 --> 00:11:30,880
uh

229
00:11:34,550 --> 00:11:32,959
with cobwebs if you if the sun is on the

230
00:11:35,990 --> 00:11:34,560
opposite side or your source of light is

231
00:11:38,069 --> 00:11:36,000
on the opposite side of the cobweb it

232
00:11:40,630 --> 00:11:38,079
will be highlighted whereas if it's seen

233
00:11:42,630 --> 00:11:40,640
in back reflected light you don't

234
00:11:44,470 --> 00:11:42,640
barely see the thing or dust and i'll

235
00:11:48,069 --> 00:11:44,480
try and illustrate that in in the case

236
00:11:49,269 --> 00:11:48,079
of my own hair look at this i can bring

237
00:11:51,269 --> 00:11:49,279
this

238
00:11:53,670 --> 00:11:51,279
up onto the

239
00:11:57,269 --> 00:11:53,680
put the sun behind me

240
00:11:58,470 --> 00:11:57,279
and you'll see the hair illuminated just

241
00:12:01,509 --> 00:11:58,480
on the edge

242
00:12:04,310 --> 00:12:01,519
and whereas if this were the sun my face

243
00:12:05,190 --> 00:12:04,320
itself wouldn't be illuminated at all so

244
00:12:07,829 --> 00:12:05,200
uh

245
00:12:10,949 --> 00:12:07,839
we get to see these very small particles

246
00:12:12,710 --> 00:12:10,959
and see quite a different view of the

247
00:12:15,190 --> 00:12:12,720
of the planet and its surroundings if i

248
00:12:17,670 --> 00:12:15,200
can have that next slide

249
00:12:20,470 --> 00:12:17,680
so joe what do scientists actually learn

250
00:12:21,590 --> 00:12:20,480
by seeing saturn in this sort of backlit

251
00:12:23,590 --> 00:12:21,600
way then

252
00:12:26,069 --> 00:12:23,600
well we see quite different particles

253
00:12:28,389 --> 00:12:26,079
and those particles are subject to

254
00:12:29,910 --> 00:12:28,399
radiation forces they're a very short

255
00:12:31,750 --> 00:12:29,920
lifetime so we can see whether or not

256
00:12:33,190 --> 00:12:31,760
they're

257
00:12:36,550 --> 00:12:33,200
we'll be seeing the same amount of

258
00:12:37,509 --> 00:12:36,560
material as we did nine years ago

259
00:12:39,190 --> 00:12:37,519
and

260
00:12:40,710 --> 00:12:39,200
that gives us an opportunity to see the

261
00:12:43,030 --> 00:12:40,720
way that the

262
00:12:44,710 --> 00:12:43,040
radiation forces push material around

263
00:12:46,629 --> 00:12:44,720
try to see whether or not the particles

264
00:12:48,870 --> 00:12:46,639
are coming off little moons you saw the

265
00:12:50,870 --> 00:12:48,880
jets coming out of enceladus and if we

266
00:12:53,590 --> 00:12:50,880
can go back to that image down in the

267
00:12:55,269 --> 00:12:53,600
bottom of you're looking at the top and

268
00:12:57,269 --> 00:12:55,279
reflected light in the bottom in this

269
00:12:59,829 --> 00:12:57,279
forward scattered light the bottom arc

270
00:13:02,870 --> 00:12:59,839
that's out on the outside of this image

271
00:13:04,870 --> 00:13:02,880
is in fact material that's thrown in by

272
00:13:06,629 --> 00:13:04,880
the satellite enceladus and in this

273
00:13:09,430 --> 00:13:06,639
image we also found three other little

274
00:13:11,110 --> 00:13:09,440
moons debris coming off small satellites

275
00:13:13,030 --> 00:13:11,120
will they be the same this time will our

276
00:13:14,949 --> 00:13:13,040
theories prove out to be correct or how

277
00:13:16,790 --> 00:13:14,959
will we have to improve them that's the

278
00:13:18,389 --> 00:13:16,800
sort of questions we're trying to do

279
00:13:20,710 --> 00:13:18,399
that's that's what i wanted to ask you

280
00:13:23,269 --> 00:13:20,720
joe so you've been there before you've

281
00:13:24,629 --> 00:13:23,279
been there in 2006. why do you want to

282
00:13:26,710 --> 00:13:24,639
go back this time

283
00:13:28,710 --> 00:13:26,720
well we think things will change uh

284
00:13:30,550 --> 00:13:28,720
again these particles coming out of

285
00:13:32,949 --> 00:13:30,560
enceladus change over the course of time

286
00:13:35,509 --> 00:13:32,959
will the ring be brighter or less bright

287
00:13:37,190 --> 00:13:35,519
will the uh so you can see the material

288
00:13:38,790 --> 00:13:37,200
coming out of enceladus there the bright

289
00:13:39,670 --> 00:13:38,800
spot in the middle forward scattered

290
00:13:42,310 --> 00:13:39,680
again

291
00:13:44,310 --> 00:13:42,320
we expect the solar radiation pressure

292
00:13:46,949 --> 00:13:44,320
to push the rings around

293
00:13:48,870 --> 00:13:46,959
and in the last image the sun was on the

294
00:13:50,710 --> 00:13:48,880
southern hemisphere right now it's

295
00:13:52,550 --> 00:13:50,720
coming into the it's in the northern

296
00:13:54,230 --> 00:13:52,560
hemisphere so the rain should be pushed

297
00:13:56,949 --> 00:13:54,240
to the southwest that will push to the

298
00:13:58,389 --> 00:13:56,959
north but in the past they

299
00:14:00,230 --> 00:13:58,399
image they didn't do quite what we

300
00:14:02,310 --> 00:14:00,240
expected so we've tried to develop

301
00:14:03,829 --> 00:14:02,320
further theories and now is their chance

302
00:14:06,069 --> 00:14:03,839
to test them and that's the way science

303
00:14:07,829 --> 00:14:06,079
works we see unusual things we try to

304
00:14:10,150 --> 00:14:07,839
explain them and then come back with

305
00:14:12,230 --> 00:14:10,160
better data to see whether or not we've

306
00:14:14,710 --> 00:14:12,240
done it right and we're really eager to

307
00:14:17,430 --> 00:14:14,720
see this data come back for sure

308
00:14:20,150 --> 00:14:17,440
what sort of particles are we looking

309
00:14:21,189 --> 00:14:20,160
for how small what sort of things will

310
00:14:23,430 --> 00:14:21,199
you see

311
00:14:25,030 --> 00:14:23,440
these particles are tend to be and again

312
00:14:27,189 --> 00:14:25,040
they're remember the ones in the case of

313
00:14:28,710 --> 00:14:27,199
the enceladus are coming in they're

314
00:14:30,629 --> 00:14:28,720
shooting out of the geyser they're water

315
00:14:32,150 --> 00:14:30,639
droplets they tend to be about the size

316
00:14:36,310 --> 00:14:32,160
of dust or

317
00:14:39,350 --> 00:14:36,320
a flower a familiar thing or smoke

318
00:14:40,949 --> 00:14:39,360
you see that in fog same sort of stuff

319
00:14:42,550 --> 00:14:40,959
very small particles so they're they

320
00:14:43,990 --> 00:14:42,560
have very short lifetimes because they

321
00:14:46,710 --> 00:14:44,000
can be pushed around and they can also

322
00:14:48,389 --> 00:14:46,720
be eroded away all right well joe thanks

323
00:14:49,750 --> 00:14:48,399
so much for taking time with us you

324
00:14:51,509 --> 00:14:49,760
going outside

325
00:14:53,750 --> 00:14:51,519
absolutely all right you got a couple of

326
00:14:55,590 --> 00:14:53,760
minutes left all right all right take

327
00:14:57,750 --> 00:14:55,600
care thanks for joining us

328
00:15:00,949 --> 00:14:57,760
it will take three hours for cassini to

329
00:15:04,230 --> 00:15:00,959
snap images of the entire saturn system

330
00:15:06,550 --> 00:15:04,240
for the tiny one pixel portrait of earth

331
00:15:09,030 --> 00:15:06,560
it will take the light from earth 80

332
00:15:11,910 --> 00:15:09,040
minutes to travel from here to cassini's

333
00:15:14,350 --> 00:15:11,920
cameras the one-way light time is 80

334
00:15:18,310 --> 00:15:14,360
minutes because saturn is

335
00:15:20,389 --> 00:15:18,320
900 million miles away how far is that

336
00:15:22,389 --> 00:15:20,399
well here are a couple of comparisons to

337
00:15:25,430 --> 00:15:22,399
give you some perspective

338
00:15:27,590 --> 00:15:25,440
how far is 900 million miles

339
00:15:31,110 --> 00:15:27,600
900 million miles is equivalent to

340
00:15:32,389 --> 00:15:31,120
nearly 16 billion football fields laid

341
00:15:36,710 --> 00:15:32,399
end to end

342
00:15:40,550 --> 00:15:36,720
the moon is 240 000 miles away 900

343
00:15:42,790 --> 00:15:40,560
million miles is equivalent to 1807

344
00:15:45,509 --> 00:15:42,800
round trips to the moon

345
00:15:49,189 --> 00:15:45,519
saturn is nearly 10 times as far from

346
00:15:52,389 --> 00:15:49,199
earth as the earth is from the sun

347
00:15:55,949 --> 00:15:52,399
so how long does it take to travel 900

348
00:15:59,990 --> 00:15:55,959
million miles well a 747 jet cruises at

349
00:16:03,749 --> 00:16:00,000
570 miles per hour it would take a 747

350
00:16:05,829 --> 00:16:03,759
jet 180 years to fly to saturn

351
00:16:08,069 --> 00:16:05,839
the fastest land animal the cheetah can

352
00:16:09,870 --> 00:16:08,079
go 70 miles per hour it would take a

353
00:16:13,189 --> 00:16:09,880
cheetah

354
00:16:15,590 --> 00:16:13,199
1467 years to run to saturn an average

355
00:16:19,629 --> 00:16:15,600
human's walking speed is 4 miles per

356
00:16:24,790 --> 00:16:19,639
hour it would take a human 25

357
00:16:28,870 --> 00:16:24,800
667 years 128 days and 6 hours to walk

358
00:16:34,389 --> 00:16:31,430
all right let's take a gauge again it is

359
00:16:37,110 --> 00:16:34,399
16 minutes past the hour we are about 10

360
00:16:39,110 --> 00:16:37,120
and a half minutes out from our wave and

361
00:16:41,269 --> 00:16:39,120
people are planning impromptu wave

362
00:16:43,829 --> 00:16:41,279
parties all over the place and again

363
00:16:45,990 --> 00:16:43,839
remember that hashtag wave at saturn

364
00:16:48,310 --> 00:16:46,000
including some folks at comic con in san

365
00:16:49,670 --> 00:16:48,320
diego california we've got a picture to

366
00:16:52,230 --> 00:16:49,680
show you

367
00:16:56,230 --> 00:16:52,240
there they are and i have to say two of

368
00:16:58,230 --> 00:16:56,240
those folks are jplers whitney um is the

369
00:17:00,310 --> 00:16:58,240

425
00:18:59,669 --> 00:18:58,640
eddington

426
00:19:01,590 --> 00:18:59,679

00:21:44,630 --> 00:21:42,000
i almost can't hear myself talk there's

501
00:21:46,710 --> 00:21:44,640
so many people out here

502
00:21:48,870 --> 00:21:46,720
it's fantastic so tell me where are

503
00:21:50,870 --> 00:21:48,880
people going to be looking most of the

504
00:21:53,510 --> 00:21:50,880
people here are going to be looking to

505
00:21:56,830 --> 00:21:53,520
their east which i'll just point this

506
00:22:00,630 --> 00:21:56,840
way it's kind of down the main drag of

507
00:22:02,390 --> 00:22:00,640
jpl and right now saturn has just risen

508
00:22:04,549 --> 00:22:02,400
above the horizon

509
00:22:08,549 --> 00:22:04,559
so even though we can't see it in the

510
00:22:10,950 --> 00:22:08,559
daytime it's already above our horizon

511
00:22:13,190 --> 00:22:10,960
well you have a couple of um images that

512
00:22:15,270 --> 00:22:13,200
you can show us oh look at that crowd

513
00:22:16,390 --> 00:22:15,280
definitely yeah people must have gotten

514
00:22:17,590 --> 00:22:16,400
the memo eh

515
00:22:22,710 --> 00:22:17,600
right

516
00:22:23,990 --> 00:22:22,720
shots and you to kind of get an idea of

517
00:22:26,230 --> 00:22:24,000
where to look

518
00:22:28,149 --> 00:22:26,240
saturn's not going to be way way up high

519
00:22:30,149 --> 00:22:28,159
in the sky and of course it is the

520
00:22:32,789 --> 00:22:30,159
daytime so folks here won't be able to

521
00:22:36,310 --> 00:22:32,799
see but can you describe where to look

522
00:22:38,950 --> 00:22:36,320
yes um look almost due east so wherever

523
00:22:41,909 --> 00:22:38,960
you are in the u.s look kind of to your

524
00:22:45,190 --> 00:22:41,919
east or to your southeast if you're kind

525
00:22:47,750 --> 00:22:45,200
of on the east coast and very very close

526
00:22:49,590 --> 00:22:47,760
to the horizon maybe less than 15

527
00:22:51,430 --> 00:22:49,600
degrees above the horizon

528
00:22:52,950 --> 00:22:51,440
and that's where that's where you should

529
00:22:55,669 --> 00:22:52,960
face and wave

530
00:22:57,990 --> 00:22:55,679
all right now people would definitely

531
00:23:00,630 --> 00:22:58,000
want to see saturn at night it's

532
00:23:03,110 --> 00:23:00,640
probably you know one of the the

533
00:23:04,710 --> 00:23:03,120
favorite planets to look at at night

534
00:23:06,630 --> 00:23:04,720
where should they look again at that

535
00:23:09,590 --> 00:23:06,640
time and there are little things that

536
00:23:11,510 --> 00:23:09,600
can help guide them right um

537
00:23:14,789 --> 00:23:11,520
almost in the same area you'll be

538
00:23:18,149 --> 00:23:14,799
looking to your uh to your east up about

539
00:23:19,350 --> 00:23:18,159
30 or 40 or 50 degrees up and you'll see

540
00:23:21,909 --> 00:23:19,360
a golden

541
00:23:25,110 --> 00:23:21,919
star and the easy way to see it is that

542
00:23:27,270 --> 00:23:25,120
the moon is on one side and venus is on

543
00:23:29,669 --> 00:23:27,280
the other side so there'll be two good

544
00:23:32,310 --> 00:23:29,679
signposts to help people find

545
00:23:34,950 --> 00:23:32,320
all right so this is an event by the

546
00:23:36,789 --> 00:23:34,960
cassini team and one of the things

547
00:23:39,430 --> 00:23:36,799
that's going to be a real treat is

548
00:23:41,909 --> 00:23:39,440
taking all these images that people are

549
00:23:43,430 --> 00:23:41,919
tweeting in and posting on facebook what

550
00:23:45,830 --> 00:23:43,440

with this montage of birth images taken

which inspired us all

656
00:29:42,389 --> 00:29:39,840
pictures like these are few and far

657
00:29:45,110 --> 00:29:42,399
between they're not easy to take special

658
00:29:47,430 --> 00:29:45,120
care has to be taken to not blind the

659
00:29:48,549 --> 00:29:47,440
cameras while looking in the direction

660
00:29:50,549 --> 00:29:48,559
of the sun

661
00:29:52,789 --> 00:29:50,559
where earth happens to be

662
00:29:54,549 --> 00:29:52,799
but the challenge is not the only part

663
00:29:56,549 --> 00:29:54,559
of our appreciation

664
00:29:58,789 --> 00:29:56,559

665
00:30:02,310 --> 00:29:58,799
unique perspective of our world whether
