Do you know where you will be every day for the next year?
Marvel at the beauty of mathematicians' and engineers' minds as they can say exactly where their space-exploring robot Cassini will be for the coming year:

Titan: January 14, 2005
Titan: February 15, 2005
Enceladus: March 9, 2005
Titan: March 31, 2005
Titan: April 16, 2005
Enceladus: July 14, 2005
Titan: August 22, 2005
Titan: September 7, 2005
Hyperion: September 26, 2005
Dione: October 11, 2005
Titan: October 28, 2005
Rhea: November 26, 2005
Titan: December 26, 2005

Now is that cool or what?!

By the way, the Huygens probe (the piggyback robot) has safely detached and is on course for Titan, where it will decend into that mysterious moon's atmosphere on the 14th of January -- just 2 weeks time. Yay!
