Chubby, brunette Eunice Kinnison sat in a rocker, reading the Sunday papers and listening to the radio. Her husband Ralph lay sprawled upon the davenport, smoking a cigarette and reading the current issue of EXTRAORDINARY STORIES against an unheard background of music. Mentally, he was far from Tellus, flitting in his super-dreadnaught through parsec after parsec of vacuous space. E.E. "Doc" Smith, Triplanetary, Chapter 5: "1941"

Far Helene
Today's Astronomy Picture of the Day shows Saturn's moon Helene (I bet you didn't even know that Saturn had a moon named Helene)as recently snapped by the Cassini orbiter (still going!). What an odd moon(let), what a mad universe.
