New Cassini View of Saturn’s Rings
Cassini gets a closer look at Saturn’s rings. It’s difficult to get a sense of scale when viewing Saturn’s rings, but the Cassini Division (seen…

According to mission managers and orbit determination experts at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, the Cassini Spacecraft is not experiencing unexplained deviations in its orbit around…
Another great image of Saturn from NASA’s Cassini Spacecraft. As a convention for public release, Cassini images of Saturn are generally oriented so that Saturn…
This newly released Cassini image shows Saturn’s Moons Enceladus and Janus. When taking images in directions opposite from the sun, most objects appear dark. Surprisingly,…
A newly published study reveals that Saturn’s moon Rhea and all other moons and rings closer to Saturn may be only 100 million years old….
This newly released Cassini image shows a pair of craters on Saturn’s moon Dione. Cassini captures a crater duo on Saturn’s moon Dione that is…
This new image from NASA’s Cassini spacecraft shows wrinkled plains that are remarkably youthful in appearance on Saturn’s moon Enceladus. When viewed with north pointing…
Newly published research details the varying surface temperatures on Saturn’s moon Titan at two-year intervals, from 2004 to 2016. The measurements were made by the…
This newly released Cassini image shows Saturn’s moons Tethys, Enceladus, and Mimas. Three of Saturn’s moons — Tethys, Enceladus, and Mimas — are captured in…
In this newly released Cassini spacecraft image, Dione appears cut in two by Saturn’s razor-thin rings. This scene was captured from just 0.02 degrees above…
NASA’s Cassini Spacecraft views Saturn’s moon Tethys. Saturn’s moon Tethys appears to float between two sets of rings in this view from NASA’s Cassini spacecraft,…
New data from NASA’s Cassini Spacecraft reveals that there is little correlation between how dense the rings of Saturn might appear to be — in…
The soft, bright-and-dark bands revealed in this new image from the Cassini Spacecraft are the signature of methane in Saturn’s atmosphere. This image was taken…
NASA’s Cassini Spacecraft delivers another great image of Enceladus. This half-lit view of Enceladus bears a passing resemblance to similar views of Earth’s own natural…
This image from the Cassini Spacecraft demonstrates the main difference between small moons and large ones. It’s all about the moon’s shape. Moons like Tethys…
This new image taken by the Cassini Spacecraft on December 19, 2015 provides a close-up of Enceladus. This terrain is on the moon’s Saturn-facing side,…
NASA’s Cassini Spacecraft views the sunlit side of Saturn. It is easy to forget just how large Saturn is, at around 10 times the diameter…
This new Cassini image dramatically displays the contrast between the older and newer terrain on Enceladus. Newer surfaces (on the left in the image) will…
