Stunning images from Saturn probe

"The Cassini-Huygens mission is living up to its billing, delighting researchers with the quality and abundance of data it is able to return to Earth."

It looks as if the ring system is due to a disintegrated moon. Before Richard Hoagland became synonymous with the Face on Mars, he was interested in a radio-emitting anomaly orbiting Saturn. I asked him if Cassini would be able to verify its presence and he thought it could -- if it survived orbital insertion (which it has).

Could it be Cassini, and not the Mars Global Surveyor, that returns irrefutable evidence that our solar system has been visited?
