   I hope he takes this project further…. around the back side to see the total eclipse of the Sun:

   The video gave me chills. Quite literally breathtaking! Thanks to George Lucas and the folks at ILM I’m sure a lot of people will do a double-take when Mimas glides by. Thanks very much for posting this link!

   Breathtaking indeed…

   The music… the music… we know the music… jeez…. this is some part of Paul Oakenfold’s songs… help me remember… (why they don’t credit the music?)

   I was just posting an image of dawn from the plane… this music is so in with the pathos of my post…

   Will come back with the track…

   Skip Raiders, Another Day (featured in Oakenfold’s album Great Wall, but this video is a more dance version, the one in the album is slower like in the Cassini video, but cannot find it to link it here)

   heard this track before … really sounds influenced by górecki no.3 … ? (beautiful "sad" symphony for those that haven’t heard it before … worth the 50 minutes!)
   man… i wonder what tunes those rings would play if a planet sized record needle hit those grooves?

   There you are, temporarily, the track to download as I have it:
   Paul Oakenfold – 07 – Skip Raiders – Another Day feat. Jada Perfecto Mix

   Leino, great reference!!! I could track back to Oakenfold, it’s what I know, but I was sure the base of the song belongs somewhere else…

   [http://www.flickr.com/photos/24270806@N06] sounds pretty alike but not exactly the same… or am I mis-listening? Funny tho it’s about Saturn…

    I’m not sure of the music at the front, but after ~1 minute it’s Barber’s Adagio for Strings.

    [http://www.flickr.com/photos/leino] – It’s the Adagio for Strings by Samuel Barber, Op. 11.

    [http://www.flickr.com/photos/31160766@N02] Adagio for strings rings true to me!!! (even without listening to it, will do now) Must be… many songs from Oakenfold use that as a base theme!

    [http://www.flickr.com/photos/24270806@N06] I don’t remember well from my alien travels how Saturn sounds like, but I can say it can be quite well what you posted (regardless of the soundtrack the guys used for the render of Cassini) 😀

    [http://www.flickr.com/photos/gi] Thanks. It’s probably best known for being used in "Platoon" and "El Norte."

    Planet-star eclipse is used as one of the techniques in search for other worlds… actually armature photographers can help too, kinda cool!
