The Memories (A Cashuy/Cassini x Huygens Book)

Intermission #5: A Point Of Miracle

A/n: You Probably Heard This Already But If You Are Not, Let Cassini And Friends Guide You On What Is Going On In Their Point Of View! (*This Story Took Place In The Same Timing As The Release Of The Black Hole Image*)

Cassini's POV

Chandra Told Huygens And Me About It, The Black Hole. She Told Me That Humans Are Going To Try To Get Their Humanity First Black Hole Image While She Will Helping Out By Taking The Images Of The Same Black Hole As The Earthling Did, But In A Little Further Than The Earthlings. After All, The Black Hole That Earthling And Chandra Are Trying To Take Is At The Core Of The Messier 87 Or M87 As The Humans Like To Say. It Is A Supergiant Elliptical Galaxy On The Virgo Constellation.

I Don't Know About The Huygens' Thinking On This. But This Is Going To Be A Breakthrough On Astronomy Since Astronomy Is Also One Of My Mission's Discipline Beside Planetary Science Which Is More Widespread In Space Exploration. Like How Earthlings Took So Long To Going To Get Their First Black Image, Same As Planning Of My Mission. Luckily, Chandra Can Take Photo Of The Black Hole In X-Rays. After All, She Is The Low X-Rays Spacecraft Under The 'Great Observatories'.

The Great Observatories Is The Programme Name That Hubble, Chandra, Spitzer And Compton Is Under. Each Of Them Excel In One Part Of The Electromagnetic Spectrum Like What I Said About Chandra Earlier And Since The Black Hole Is At 53.49 Million Light Years Away, It Is Gonna Take Days To Take A Photo Of Black Hole, Even A Single Picture Of The Galaxy Will Need To Take Days To Get It! I Know, This Is More Worst Than The Time I Needed To Send A Photo Back To Earth: But Some Humans Are Patience As Some Are Opposite.

Although This Is Most Exciting News, I Am Concern About The Fate Of The Programme: Compton Is No Longer With Us, All Spacecraft Already Exceed 10 Years. And Only Last October, Both Hubble And Chandra Had A Problem Which Is Solved.

I Troubled Too.

Huygens' POV

I Am Afraid When I Saw Cassini's Appearance.

Time And Time, Humans Constantly Avoided The Chance To Ever Possess What They Require. But Seldom, It Just Happens That They Got What They Want. It's The 'Now Or Never' Within Those Humans That Lead To Amazing Things Like My Titanic Landing Or Cassini's Thread Into Saturn And The Innermost Rings Or Both Voyagers Reached Interstellar Star Within The 40 Years And The First Interplanetary CubeSat, The MarCo Twins. Wait, Are Them The First? 

Anyways, Black Holes Draw Humans' Attention Long Before Sputnik Existed. Seriously, Long Before Cassini And I Existed. Humans Yet Have Their Attention To The Black Holes, But Now With Better Innovative Technology To Capture The First Black Hole Images. Even Building A Drone Lander To My Side, How Cool Is That! 

But To Able To Take The First Black Hole Picture...This Is Going To Need Some Titanic Effort. Chandra Told Cassini And Me That To Take That Image, They Need Lot Of Telescopes Just To Make A Earth-Size Telescope To Take The First Black Hole Pictures. What!?

I'm Done.

I Am Delivering This To Cassini Now, I Need To Catch My Breathe.  

(*As Huygens Pass This To Cassini, Huygens Yelled In The Background*)

"How The Titan They Will Do Just To Get A Earth-Size Telescope!?"

"Not Even My Relay To Earth By Cassini Can Do That!"

"Just How!?"

Cassini's POV

Huygens Require Some Breathing, As You Can Hear Huygens's Yelling In The Background. 

Yep, Earthlings Need A Worldwide Effort To Use Global Network Of Radio Telescope Which Previously Revealed The Huge Scale For This Effort. Radio Telescope Is Weaker Than Telescope That Used On Hubble And Spitzer Themselves. But Here Is The Problem, Hubble Did Capture The Black Hole Before But Earthling Want The Black Hole Image That Has Circular, Dark Outline On The Bright Background. The Dark Outline Is The Event Horizon, Known As 'The Point Of No Return'.
