Description

A tribute to the folks of the Cassini-Huygens project. It blows me away to think that just 48 years after the first space launch we were able to send a craft on a 7 year, 3.5 billion kilometer voyage and set it down successfully on Titan. It gives me hope that we can successfully tackle some of the problems facing us here on Earth. UF

FYI this is just two layers--the forms come from an adaptation of Mark Townsend's "Gnarly Orbit Traps" coloring that I have presently in beta.

Most excellent. Most wonderful gradient. It is nice to see an image that actually belongs in the Hot 20.

I love that they said it landed not with a splash or a thud, but a splat! In the mud! Most amazing indeed. This is so much more colorful than the Huygens lander, but I think it would have been nicer if it looked more like this!
