it is life in slow motion, it's the heart in reverse, it's a hope-and-a-half, too much and too little at once

From Leonard Cohen’s final letter to his dying muse, Marianne Ihlen. She died in July 2016, and Cohen followed her shortly after, dying in November 2016.

“Well Marianne it’s come to this time when we are really so old and our bodies are falling apart and I think I will follow you very soon. Know that I am so close behind you that if you stretch out your hand, I think you can reach mine. And you know that I’ve always loved you for your beauty and your wisdom, but I don’t need to say anything more about that because you know all about that. But now, I just want to wish you a very good journey. Goodbye old friend. Endless love, see you down the road.”

— Leonard Cohen

Saturn’s Rings

Possible variations in chemical composition from one part of Saturn’s ring system to another are visible in Voyager 2 and other pictures as subtle color variations that can be recorded with special computer-processing techniques. These highly enhanced color views were assembled from clear, orange and ultraviolet frames from a distance of 8.9 million kilometers (5.5 million miles)I.

 In addition to the previously known blue color of the C-ring and the Cassini Division, the bottom picture shows additional color differences between the inner B-ring and and outer region (where the spokes form) and between these and the A-ring.
