Today October 29 is National Cat Day. There will be plenty of cat images and videos today all over the web and here at DK. As we all know, cats are a great way to look at the sordid news of the day and the world from a different perspective, to get inspired and to recharge our batteries for the campaign battles ahead.
Herefore, we present some cats and their presence in space and the fabric of the cosmos.
Yes, they are out there, all over space.
Keeping an eye on us.
The Paw Prints betray their Presence.
I'm not crazy, my reality is just different than yours
Saturn’s Rings are a good place for rearing kittens, dontcha know?
NASA's Cassini spacecraft, which plunged into Saturn on Sept. 15, 2017, has discovered at least 60 "kittens" orbiting Saturn!
Saturn's kittens are a group of small clumps and baby moons, or moonlets, that occupy the planet's F ring. So far, the list of Saturn's kitten names includes several classics, like Fluffy, Garfield, Socks and Whiskers. These are unofficial nicknames for more-complicated (and less adorable) official titles like "Alpha Leonis Rev 9" (aka, Mittens). www.space.com/…

Where do you think Hubble got his ideas on cosmological expansion?
Thanks Lalande, but we prefer to remain secret.
You can never be certain whether we reside in this gammy-ray constellation or not
Scientists with NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope recently devised a set of modern constellations constructed from sources in the gamma-ray sky to celebrate the mission's 10th year of operations. The 21 gamma-ray constellations include famous landmarks—such as Sweden's recovered warship, Vasa, the Washington Monument and Mount Fuji in Japan. Others represent scientific ideas or tools, from Schrödinger's Cat—both alive and dead, thanks to quantum physics—to Albert Einstein, Radio Telescope and Black Widow Spider, the namesake of a class of pulsars that evaporate their unfortunate companion stars. phys.org/…
