We received another piece of fan writing this week, which I will be HTMLizing and sending to Mark to be put on the fanart page. This is very, very cool. Have I mentioned lately how great you guys - our readers - are? I haven't? Well, you are.

In space news, the Cassini probe at Saturn has discovered the largest lightning storm on the planet. An image of the storm was taken by the light of Saturn's rings. I'd like you to read that again. We sent a probe to Saturn that can take images of storm clouds - from orbit - by the faint light of the planet's rings.

The storms may be caused by temperature differences between the sunlit clouds and the sections of Saturn shaded by its rings.

Regarding today's page of the comic: In a world of ubiquitous computing, don't forget that there are ubiquitous computers.
