A little late, I think

The Daily Mail has a new article featuring Saturn's weird moon Hyperion:

Extraordinary close-up reveals sponge-like surface of Saturn moon

Now, while they don't actually provide the date when the picture was taken, you get the impression that it was recently.

Now, Cassini did a more recent flyby of Hyperion last December. Bad Astronomy blog even made a video:

The thing is: the picture used in the Daily Mail article is from September 26, 2005!

Cosmic blasting zone

I guess it was a slow science news day.
