July 2014

As it's July and Bikini Season, we had a request for a pin-up of Io and Callisto, those two green alien Bunnies and their um... "friends" - who we find in this candid beach photo frolicking in the exotic seas of Enceladus... (For those of you not up on your astronomical minutiae, Enceladus is the 6th largest moon of the Saturn system - or fourteenth in ordered distance, when counting outwards - give or take one or two large chunks of orbital icebergs) Another interesting factoid concerning Enceladus, are the great geysers venting from it's southern polar sea - True, many scientists believe the moon's southern sea to be icy cold, but seems that the bunnies know of warm volcanic vents heating this section of the beach front... In fact, I'm told that there's a quite nice resort in the region, catering to somewhat out of town clientele...

Additional note: for those of you know it alls, who are about to write and quibble that, "From the southern poll of Enceladus, Saturn's ring plane would be seen edgewise (or nearly so)"... We already know that - However, sparing no expense or difficulty, we had the Moon moved just for this Photo opp... Don't fret, it was carefully nudged back into it's old orbit afterwards... Y'see, there's a couple of alien A.I.s who owed me a favor... (Should you be wondering who those might be, perusing Bunz & Katz could offer a clue)... JQ
