...planetary alignment to survey the entire outer solar system. Those missions that were approved often did not receive funding for complete analysis of the return data.

...Voyager I flew past Jupiter this March, satellites that has been mere specks of light suddenly became full-fledged whirls, each with its own pecularities.
