CASSINI SHOCKED BY SATURN’S SPONGY MOON
Cassini’s shocked by Saturn’s spongy moon
(Craggy porous distant Hyperion).
Although a predicted phenomenon,
To be caught in a beam of electrons
Cannot be pleasant, even after ten
Years. Thus Nicolas Altobelli, when
Interviewed, said Cassini has again
Proved its altogether superhuman
Value as we study interactions
Between humanity and solar winds.
