Here at Future-ish, we love astronomy and we love cocktails. So to prep our fans (and ourselves) for those stellar weekend cocktail conversations, we are pleased to offer our Cocktail Astronomy post each Friday.

Phil Plait, the blogger behind Bad Astronomy has no problem admitting his crush on Saturn. So it comes as no surprise that he was gushing after an image of Saturn was recently released from NASA's Cassini mission.
