Juliet: O Romeo, Romeo! Wherefore art thou Romeo?
Deny thy father and refuse thy name!
Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love,
And I'll no longer be a Capulet.

Romeo: Shall I hear more, or shall I speak at this?

Juliet: 'Tis but thy name that is my enemy.

Thou art thyself, though not a Montague.
What's Montague? it is nor hand, nor foot,
Nor arm, nor face, nor any other part
Belonging to a man. O,=be some other name!
What's in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet.
So Romeo would, were he not Romeo call'd,
Retain that dear perfection which he owes
Without that title. Romeo, doff thy name;
And for that name, which is no part of thee,(50)
Take all myself.
Romeo: I take thee at thy word.
Call me but love, and I'll be new baptiz'd;
Henceforth I never will be Romeo.

In the shadow of Saturn, unexpected wonders appear.
The robotic Cassini spacecraft now orbiting Saturn
recently drifted in giant planet's shadow for about 12
hours and looked back toward the eclipsed Sun.
Cassini saw a view unlike any other. First, the
night side of Saturn is seen to be partly lit by light
reflected from its own majestic ring system. Next, the
rings themselves appear dark when silhouetted
against Saturn, but quite bright
= when viewed away
from Saturn, slightly scattering sunlight, in this
exaggerated color image. Saturn's rings light up so
much that new rings were discovered, although they
are hard to see in the image. Seen in spectacular
detail, however, is Saturn's E ring, the ring created by
the newly discovered ice-fountains of the moon
Enceladus and the outermost ring visible above. Far in
the distance, at the left, just above the bright main
rings, is the almost ignorable pale blue dot of Earth.
