Self Care – Astronomy Picture of the Week: Bleriot Propeller Close-up
More Grand Finale images…
Following up from last week’s image, here’s a close up of one of those Propeller Belts in Saturn’s rings, the Bleriot Propeller…
This view from NASA’s Cassini spacecraft shows Cassini’s best image of the propeller feature known informally as Bleriot. The propeller is named after Louis Bleriot, the French engineer and aviator who in 1909 was the first person to fly across the English Channel.
