A picture is worth a thousand words - that is really great to see!

This only adds to what I already regarded as quite an eventful week.

There are the rocky "Super Earths" posted elsewhere on this forum.

The coldest place in the solar system for which we have a measured temperature (recently measured by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter) is in a crater (Hermite) on our moon (at -249C which is the surface temperature one would expect beyond the kuiper belt):

We *may* have detected the first direct evidence of dark matter impacting the Earth:

But seeing a glint off a lake on Titan is -as you say - "cool"...
