Native Americans Watching Americans Fight Each Other During The Civil War

There was a “Bowling Green massacre” — in 1643, white settlers slaughtered 110 Native Americans

Last week on MSNBC, Kellyanne Conway invented a massacre that never happened in Bowling Green, Kentucky.

This raw, unprocessed image of Saturn was taken on 12 August 2017 and received on Earth 13 August 2017.

The camera was pointing toward Saturn at approximately 938955 kilometres away, and the image was taken using the CL1 and RED filters.

The image has not been validated or calibrated. A validated/calibrated image will be archived with the Planetary Data System in 2018.

The Cassini Solstice Mission is a joint United States and European endeavor.
