In this Cassini image of Anthe's ring arc, the moon is moving downward and to the right. Most of the visible material in the arc lies ahead of Anthe in its orbit. However, over time the moon drifts slowly back and forth with respect to the arc. NASA's Cassini spacecraft has found two new, partial rings around Saturn that each accompany a small moon, shedding light on what determines whether a partial or complete ring forms with the moon.

    Profile

     

    During my MSc programme in GIS and Remote Sensing, I developed and acquired coding skills. I designed Image Processing software for a client using Visual Basic programming language. Also with my competency in ArcGIS suite, I designed a customised tool in ArcGIS 9.1 for a client using ArcObjects.

    Currently at Thanet Council, I have the opportunity to develop technical skills such as ArcIMS, ArcSDE and HTML.
