"As bizarre as Saturn is, with its hula-hoop rings and enough moons to honor a busload of deities, the watery parts of our home planet also have some strange secrets to reveal. And scientists here on the 'blue planet' are using a vast array of instruments--including a growing armada of Cassini's deep-diving kin--to make discoveries that rival anything in the solar system for pure other-worldly wonder." (U.S. NEWS & WORLD REPORT) This article examines the exploration of the Earth's oceans, focusing on geological and biological studies and also discussing beach erosion and pollution.
